In 1907 W. Horie, E. Baynes and H. Burnet purchased a riverside lot at the Bottom of Hinch Road (now 225th Street). This would be the best place for their business due to the rich clay deposits. The business ran from 1907 to 1977 with them creating more and more clay products. Managers of the business and their families would live in the brick house which is now a part of the Maple Ridge Museum. (As an aside, it is always fascinating from a historical perspective to see what types of buildings are used as small-town museums. Even here at the Pitt Meadows Museum, we use the old General Store Building, in Mission they use the old Canadian Bank of Commerce). Brick and Clay works were especially important in a city built of wood, as clay and brick were more fire retardant (which we can see time and time again in Port Hammond and Haney where there were lots of devastating fires in the early 20th century). Originally the business was called “Port Haney Brick and Tile Company” however by c.1947 the name was changed to just “Haney Brick and Tile Limited”. The business was run by three managers during the about 70 years in business: Harold Burnet 1907 to 1946, Jim Hadgkiss 1946-1970, and Alan Findlay 1970-1977. For Pitt Meadows, lots of residents used the company for their tile and brick needs. Hans Hoffmann during his ditch digging venture purchased lots of items from this company. A fascinating write-up about what happened to the building after the City decided to run the Bypass through it is written by the Maple Ridge Museum, click here<\/a>. Unfortunately, another loss to “Progress” most of the business was demolished. The main sheds, beehive kilns and the historical landscape was destroyed. Luckily the managers house and yard office were moved uphill onto new foundations and established as a Museum. The building that they house their archives in has beautiful tile from Haney Brick and Tile, if you are ever in the area we recommend going and visiting!<\/p>","SEO_LINK":"haney-brick-and-tile","VIDEO_LINK":"","SOUNDCLOUD_LINK":"","IMG1":"1718990989_main_haney-brick-and-tile_1.jpg","IMG2":"1718990990_main_haney-brick-and-tile_2.jpg","IMG3":"","IMG4":"","IMG5":"","IMG6":"","IMG7":"","IMG1_THUMB":"1718990989_thumb_haney-brick-and-tile_1.jpg","IMG2_THUMB":"1718990990_thumb_haney-brick-and-tile_2.jpg","IMG3_THUMB":"","IMG4_THUMB":"","IMG5_THUMB":"","IMG6_THUMB":"","IMG7_THUMB":""}X This artifact is a price list and information sheet for Haney Burned Clay Drain Tile from Haney Brick and Tile.
