Abstract:		 In 2019 Eden Heritage was commissioned by Stoneswood developments Limited to undertake an historic building recording project at Wetheriggs Pottery, Clifton Dykes, Penrith, Cumbria (NGR: NY 55474 26281). The recording was required as a condition of planning consent prior to the development of the site for holiday use, which was to include the restoration of the existing Grade II listed beehive kiln, associated drying sheds and workshops adjoining the kiln, and the existing boiler/engine house. Previous documentary research has revealed that Wetheriggs Pottery originated as a brick and tile works, established in 1855 with two Newcastle type kilns, using a local supply of red clay. Wetheriggs Pottery began producing glazed earthernware pots in the 1860s when the first beehive kiln was erected. This was a multi-fueled updraught type kiln in which the air passes from the base of the kiln and out through the top. The pottery contained workshops and drying sheds, a reservoir, boiler/engine house and blunger (a steam-driven wash mill) served by a wagonway with adjacent settling pans, all of which survive to some degree on site. The purpose of the historic building recording project was to determine the original form of the buildings, and to record evidence for their construction, development and past use. The project comprised a Level 2 Survey as described by Historic England, which is a descriptive record, where both the exterior and interior of the buildings are viewed, described and photographed.
