Abstract:		 Border Archaeology conducted a programme of archaeological excavation between March 24th and April 4th 2014 on land situated at the corner of Pound Street and Whitburn Street in Bridgnorth Shropshire prior to the construction of nine dwellings. The clay tobacco pipe kiln identified during the 2007 evaluation was excavated, together with further structures representing the SE corner of the factory complex. The kiln base that was found during this work is regarded as being of national importance: 1/ It is the most complete kiln base ever excavated 2/ It includes construction techniques unparalleled on any other known site 3/ It includes fragments of sagger (which contains the pottery to protect it from direct contact with the flame during firing) or kiln furniture of a form that has not been previously recorded and that are of unknown function 4/The construction technique used for the muffle (the inner chamber inside the firing chamber) is extremely unusual. A quantity of kiln debris was recovered, including fragments of the kiln's muffle chamber and clay-pipe 'wasters' (deformed or otherwise defective ceramic items discarded at manufacture), with the pipe wasters revealing that at least 27 different designs of clay pipe were manufactured on the site. A decision was subsequently made to preserve the structure of the kiln itself beneath the development and a further site visit was thus undertaken on May 9th 2014 to observe factory wall (040) and stone wall (006) being lowered. The kiln was then covered with sand and protected by concrete beams.
