Callendar Brick & Fireclay Co Ltd
|
Callendar Brick & Fireclay Co Ltd was formed in 1947 following the nationalisation of coal, but the company's origins date back to around 1832 when brickworks were built on the south side of Lock 5 of the Forth & Clyde Canal. These works were taken over by James Potter of Glenfuir by 1860 and James Potter & Co was established by 1886. James Potter was also a partner in the Callendar Coal Co from 1868, along with William Forbes and James Dougal. Callendar Coal Co leased the mineral rights of Callendar Estate. The brick and fireclay works were moved to Glen Village in the 1880s and thereafter were part of the Callendar Coal Co. When coal was nationalised in 1947, the brickworks were separated off into a private company, the Callendar Brick & Fireclay Co Ltd. In 1967 the company was bought by Hepworth Iron Co and the works closed down.

Larbert Village School
|
Larbert Village Public School, Stirlingshire was established pre-1856. During the Second World War one of its buildings was occupied by the army and, soon after it was derequisitioned in 1943, an outbreak of dry rot was detected which proved so serious that the building had to be entirely reconstructed internally. The work was not completed until 1950, and consequently there was a serious shortage of accommodation. At the outbreak of war the schoolÂ’s secondary classes were transferred to what would become Larbert High School, thus Larbert Village School began to cater only for primary pupils from this period.
