Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried on waste ground off Green St and London Road, in the east end of Glasgow, with the intention of locating and assessing the survival of Christie's Clay Pipe factory. One evaluation trench was excavated on the site, orientated N-S measuring 19m in length by 5m metres in width at the northern end and 3m in width at the southern end. It was 0.8m in depth along the eastern side and 1.5m in depth on the western side. The remains of a well preserved brick surface, probably relating to the factory floor, was discovered, measuring 10m N-S, and extending below the trench edges to the E and W. The bricks were all hand made. No concrete evidence as to the presence of a kiln was discovered during the evaluation. Although some circumstantial evidence was recovered; such as a slagged surface, commonly found on other clay pipe factory sites, and a number of clay pipes. |
