I know it's been done to death, and although this isn't my first post, it was my first explore, so I thought it only right that I upped the pics.
Holding Brothers Pottery
The Broughton Barn Pottery was founded on a large clay deposit on the windswept moors of Oswaldtwistle, this was dug, blended, washed and processed on site before it was thrown into pots. The Holding involvement came in 1842 with a small pottery nearby then 18 years later they moved to the current location, also building 5 workers cottage on the site.
In later days it seems that they also tried to incorporate a small cafe and shop on site but this could not stop the demise of the pottery and it closed sometime in the 1980’s everything has been left in situ and seems to be slowly collapsing in on itself.
Surely it won't be long before this place is beyond exploring, really is bad!!
