| Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an investigation conducted in 2004 by Archaeological Services Durham University in advance of development at the site of the late 19th century Linthorpe Art Pottery, Middlesbrough. The Linthorpe Pottery was made world famous by the contribution of the designer Dr Christopher Dresser. It was innovative in its application of new technology to pottery manufacture, most notably with glazes, and was the first pottery in the country to use the recently developed gas-fired kilns. The pottery was established in 1879 on the former site of a brick works. Its subsequent history is outlined in this report before the results of the investigation are described; the excavation revealed remains relating to the earlier brick works as well as the pottery itself. Artefacts recovered during the work are then discussed. These included items such as tiles and kiln furniture as well as pottery from Linthorpe and from elsewhere. LD |
