Abstract: |
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out the recording of these three adjacent factories on behalf of RENEW North Staffordshire. The buildings were all built in the period 1880 to 1900. The Atlas Works was constructed as an iron foundry and engineering works, but was most recently used as a pottery manufactory. The Cleveland Works and Washington Pottery were both originally pottery factories, with the latter remaining as such, although substantially rebuilt and modernised. During the second half of the 20th century the Cleveland Works was occupied by a firm of upholsterers and has most recently been used as a trading estate. As a consequence of the demands of modernisation and changes in use, all the buildings had been altered to some degree. In each case, the retention of the original enabled an understanding of the overall arrangement and development of the building. The lack of original fixtures and fittings within the buildings, however, left little evidence as to the particular production processes carried out within. |
