New housing built on previously industrialised land. The 1851 OS depicts the kilns and warehouses of the 'Meadow Pottery'. Archaeological and historical research of the site is summarised within PCA 2004 and ARCUS 2001 on which this record has been based. Earliest record as an earthenware factory in 1836 but by the 1840s the site was known as 'Meadow Works' and was producing mostly firebricks, tiles and pipes. The historic OS maps show three or four probable 'beehive' type kilns, the remains of two of which were exposed during archaeological excavations in advance of the present development and which are 'preserved in situ' but not on view. The brick and tile works went out of use c1935 and were replaced by the 'Rawmarsh Dairy in the 1950s. Fragmentary legibility of earlier type due to placename evidence. Clay pits to the north of 'Claypit Lane' were infilled and over built by 1930. Placename 'Meadow' possibly suggestive of former land use.
