White and other smaller manufacturers in Glasgow supplied clay pipes to the world - according to John Hume they are commonly excavated in North American pioneer settlements and can be used for dating them. The twin buildings were formerly linked by an equally ornate 2-storey structure which housed the kilns, and the shadow of its gable can be seen. Another Calton survivor. December !975
