Abstract
While excavating post-holes for fencing, William Taylor encountered clay on the Don Valley property owned by himself and his brothers John and George. Seizing the opportunity that the earth had presented him with, William took a sample of the clay to be made into brick at a nearby works. This exercise confirmed the high quality of the raw material found on the Taylor brother’s land.
