    Administrative history

    Grimsby Brick and Tile Company Ltd. was initially founded by William Tallman around 1875, and was known as Beamsville Brick and Terracotta. Ownership of the company changed several times over the years. The last owner, Robert Crawford, encountered problems when a local farmer, William A. McNiven, sued the company [ca. 1931] alleging that fumes from the Works killed his peach trees. In 1978, the Ministry of the Environment approved the dumping of 500,000 tons of inert waste oxides to fill the site of the brickyard, and the buildings and kilns were demolished.
