Abstract: |
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land off Hassall Street, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent (NGR SJ 88750 47285) in advance of the residential development of the site. The evaluation involved the excavation of a single trench in the location of a kiln identified on Hargreaves' 1832 map of the area. The evaluation revealed no evidence of the kiln. The structure appeared to have been replaced by a large marl or clay-winning pit, one edge of which was exposed during the project. A large wooden post supported by at least two wooden struts was found at the base of the pit and probably related to its use. The pit had been partially filled with pottery waste from the Hanley factory of Charles Meigh pottery and subsequently sealed by another pottery deposit containing wares of J.W. Pankhurst. This seems to have taken place in advance of, and possibly in preparation for the construction of terraced houses on Hassall Street, which began after 1857. |
