Garscube, Glasgow

Garscube, Glasgow
I thought it was going to be easy to identify the brickworks from which this came. Unfortunately there were two separate works separated by the Forth and Clyde Canal to the north of Glasgow, just west of Maryhill. Garscube Brickworks was east of Dawsholm Park, whilst Garscube Brick & Tile Works was at Netherton.

The British Clayworker' Nov 1894, has a notice that Mark Hurll of 'Garscube & Knightswood' Brickworks has added a plant manufacturing Staffordshire metallic bricks, & is transporting by rail. This would be the Netherton works.

I went to find this image because Mangrove Rat wanted details of a brick marked GAR..... I don't think this is an example of the broken one in question.
