Circa 1900. Brick with Welsh slate roof. Long building running east-west with
chimney adjacent to east end at the top of the hill slope.
Within the western part is a bottle kiln with internal radial walls and six segment-
arched fire holes around the perimeter. Four flues from beneath the kiln floor run
up the hill to the square chimney. Two of these heat the drying shed adjacent to
the kiln and two a parallel pent-roofed shed where clay slurry was dried before
forming.
The method of firing and ventilation and the use of waste heat to dry slurry
represent an important innovation in earthenware manufacture.
Pottery built by Isaac Button Snr on site of an earlier pottery worked by the
Catherall family and continued in use by Isaac Button Jnr until 1964.
