Glenboig Refractory stone.
Not sure where this was used but it was found close to where Sankey Sugar Works used to be and where there used to be an old kiln in Earlestown.
Found on the banks of the Sankey Canal it is Toblerone shaped and numbered, so it probably came as a set with others and and was part of a a furnace or kiln design.
