Below are two drawings that illustrate the type of ware that this company manufactured.

It is known that John Hall supplied products for use at Bugsworth Canal Basin, these being conveyed by boat along the Peak Forest Canal. For example, the pots of the New Road lime kilns were lined with voussoir-shaped fire bricks manufactured by them.

The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company operated the limestone crusher house at the basin in order to produce ballast for use on their expanding railway network. The stone crusher was powered by a steam engine, the steam being raised by a Lancashire boiler. In connection with this, the railway company purchased fire bricks from John Hall and presumably these were used for lining purposes in the boiler house.
