Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The remains of a glasshouse, with coal-fired furnace, dating approximately from 1615 to 1653, were located in the valley of the river Tame and were excavated between 1969 and 1973. Only partial excavation of the site was possible, but the main furnace was fully excavated and three subsidiary furnaces exposed nearby. The main furnace probably held four pots, with two pots resting on parallel sieges, the main feature being a deep passage running beneath the sieges which fed air to the central iron grid which would have supported the coal fuel. The subsidiary furnaces were probably annealing furnaces for cooling the glass. The products included good quality forest style vessel glass in green, black and blue glass with moulded and applied furnace decoration, bottles and chemical ware, and cylinder window glass. Specialist reports include `The refractory qualities of Haughton Green clay and crucibles' by J F E Cholerton (45), `Closed crucible' by D Ashurst & F E Ashurst (45--8), `Pottery' by P J Davey (49--54), `The clay tobacco pipes' by P J Davey & D A Higgins (55), `Leather' by June M Swann (55--6), `Wood' by Graham H Taylor (56), `Glass composition and raw materials' by G W F Pardoe (56--9), and a `Geological commentary -- Haughton Green' by Fred Broadhurst (5). An appendix concerning glass-making families associated with Haughton Green (59--65) closes the report. | |||||||||||||
