Not much history to be found on this place apart from Holding Bros got involved in pottery in 1842 and moved to this location 18yrs later.
I believe it shut in the mid 1980's after being a working museum for many years.
After hearing from Georgie and WIMR (cheers)how good this place was,i had to see it for myself.
Parts of the buildings are starting to collapse inwards but its surprising how much stuff is still left scattered around.

Totally different feel to the shots we took a few weeks ago... this place is so strange... I find it odd that the owner's graduation stuff was just left behind. The roof was stripped off to re-roof the barn up by the road.

You should go search out the planning applications for this place, it makes very interesting reading. The pottery closed rather later than you indicated in your report although I'm not exactly sure when, Companies House shows accounts submitted from the business as recently as 2010.

Great stuff, enjoyed your pix.

Best wishes,

M and TJ
