Abstract:		 Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out an evaluation/excavation on the site of the former Brook Street Pottery, Century Street, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (NGR SJ 8794 4790). Since at least the 1950s until its recent demolition, the site had been used for the production of lubricants. The evaluation took place from December 2005 to February 2006 and during June 2006. It involved the excavation of four evaluation trenches, all of which contained archaeological remains and were extended and fully excavated. The structural remains of three pottery ovens were discovered in trench 3/4 all of which were up-draughts built during the mid-late 19th (ovens 2 and 3) and early-mid 20th (oven 1) centuries. An additional 20th-century oven was located in trench 1, which was originally sited to evaluate a brick kiln indicated on the 1866 OS map of Hanley. No trace of this structure was found. The fragmentary remains of four through-terrace houses were identified in trench 2, surviving only as cellar bases, some of which featured a stillage shelf. These properties formed part of Buckley Terrace, first indicated on the 1866 OS map of Hanley. Examination of the ovens revealed evidence of building and repair methods, which will add to our understanding of firing technology in the north-Staffordshire pottery industry. The poor survival of the residential properties resulted in little information being gathered about the standard of 19th-century housing in this part of Hanley.
