Abstract:		 The proposed excavation area was to measure 15m by 15m, and was targeted on the possible location of the range of four bottle kilns depicted on the 1884 OS map. The excavation area was within the footprint of a proposed residential building. The excavation has been successful in providing an exact location and assessment of the level of preservation of the bottle kilns identified on the 1884 Ordnance Survey Map. The excavation also demonstrated that the proposed development area has been badly disturbed and that the kilns only survive as concrete bases with no upstanding structures remaining. Due to the poor preservation of the kilns nothing can be said of the specific construction methods or form of the kilns. The ceramic material recovered constitutes a good cross section of typical industrial waste from a ceramic factory and would have been dumped as such shortly after it was created. There is ample diagnostic evidence to prove that this waste came from the Royal Worcester factory and there is no shard that can be identified that has come from an of the other Worcester ceramic factories. Other than a lack of Royal Worcester Parian or Glazed Parian examples, which represent a large percentage of production in the 1850 - 1940, a good cross section of the types of predictable ceramic and associated waste was found. Hardly any decorated ware was found and it is likely that the material was disposed of not far from where it was created in the manufacturing process.
