Abstract: |
Prior to redevelopment, an historic building appraisal was undertaken at the former Enson Works pottery manufactory and adjacent buildings located on Chelson Street/Normacot Road, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent . The appraisal involved the visual inspection and description of all accessible rooms/areas; the verification/annotation of existing architect's drawings for the site; and the recording of the present buildings by means of 35mm monochrome and colour digital photography. The appraisal identified the historical development of the Enson Works and adjacent buildings. It revealed that vestiges of the original pottery factory survive within the fabric of the present complex, but that these have been much altered and truncated by several phases of later development. A conclusive determination of the past process flow within the works could not be made due to the lack of surviving structural evidence and diagnostic fixtures and fittings. The America Hotel comprises at least two phases of development and the third building to be considered, number 101 Normacot Road, may have its origins in a building present on site by 1856, but has been much altered in subsequent years. |
