Mount Bonny
For the want of a better name. This bing is the result of waste from the adjacent refractory business. Yes that is a Saltire fluttering in the breeze atop the heap.

The grounds of RHI Refractories
The photograph was taken from Bonnyside Road.
The area shown here has been occupied by more or less the same kind of industry for over a century. Although the first-edition OS map (c.1864) shows the area as clear of buildings, it was, by 1899, occupied by Bonnyside Brick Works (called Bonnyside Fire Brick Works on later maps). The abundance of clay in this area was an important reason for establishing the industry here.
From the mid-1960s, the site was occupied by Dyson Refractories. Alongside the section of Bonnyside Road from which the photograph was taken, some old gates bearing a large initial "D" are visible, reflecting this period of ownership.
When this picture was taken, the site was occupied by RHI Refractories UK Ltd.
