TG Green Pottery - Swadlincote - Oct '08

what an awsome site had seen some reports on the various works in stoke and allways bee keen to see a bottle kiln up close cant believe the ammount of pots just stacked up un-touched, rather worrying to smell gas around the kilns and hello to a couple of explorers we bumped into on the way out

visited with Mattdonut and Goldie87

appologies for any real dark or over exposed shots ive been trying to get more out the camera and take it off the auto mode, hence why i was lagging behind and darting around catching up half the time



that ones off the compact camera



one of the old workshops



random dusty sign









pots and moulds were dated right up until 2003



loved this room



one end was just shelf upon shelf of pots



it just looked as if it would spin.........and it did



one of the bottle kilns



VERY slippy floors



a little office







random little office with glaze dye all over the floor









1968 entry's

This is such a good site...really enjoyed seeing everyone's pics from here. Love the stacks of pots and the old ledger. Nice to see the exterior too.

Great report there. Some really good shots I need to get back and take more photos, I couldn't take my eyes off the place!!
