What a waste! The North Lanarkshire landscape was once covered with 'bings'. These are heaps of waste from coal mines which was sometimes even dumped in towns. In our latest story we reveal their mysteries. Do you know of a bing near you? https://t.co/au493P93cC #GoIndustrial https://t.co/l1Uj9tEbdx

Today we found a #star 🌟 behind the door of our #ArchiveAdventCalendar. The largest and brightest star in the world of refractory ceramic goods was the Glenboig Union Fire Clay Co and their Star Works in Glenboig. You can see how many prize medals they won. https://t.co/ioTaeVxY3r
