Abstract: |
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out an archaeological building recording at the former Denton Works, located on Chaplin Road, Normacot, Stoke-on-Trent. The building recording sought to record the present appearance and layout of the works by means of a measured survey, written descriptions and photographic survey. It also charted the historical development of the works. The project successfully recorded the buildings and identified successive phases of their development, although the lack of surviving internal fixtures and fittings prevented the determination of the function of many of the rooms. The former Denton Works included buildings of different date and type that were eventually adapted and extended to house the pottery manufactory. They included former residential properties and industrial premises, the earliest of which appears to have been under construction by c.1892. The core of buildings that eventually housed the Denton Works existed on the site by 1900 and included the premises of the Premier Mineral Water Co. The Denton Works occupied part of the site by 1945 and had taken over the whole site by 1956. This resulted in piecemeal alterations to the buildings already on the site and the construction of new buildings. Since 2008 multiple occupants of the former Denton Works have either made use of or adapted the existing buildings. |
