Description

Work undertaken by A. F. Craig & Company Ltd.

Hopetoun Oil works was established in c 1873 by the Uphall Mineral Oil Company, which was absorbed by Young's Paraffin Light & Mineral Oil Company in 1884. This design of retort was presumably a development of the Young and Beilby retort incorporating improvements made by John Fyfe of Young's Company.
