Abstract: |
watching brief during groundworks showed much of the area had been taken up by a clay pit excavated in the first half of the 19th century for St Ann's Brickyard in Byker. This was infilled over the 1860s and early 1870s. Wasters and kiln furniture dumped within the backfill of the pit has provided a significant insight into the production techniques and product of Maling Pottery, a very substantial local industry. Pottery included a range of forms including mass-produced marmalade pots, bowls and smaller spread and paste and ointment pots. Fragments of kiln waste recovered included stilts and cockspurs for stacking pots during glaze firings and large fragments of saggars which held pottery during these firings. |
