Description

A bottle kiln, dating from the early 19th century, located near Corbridge. This kiln is one of the few remaining examples of a Tyne Valley rural pottery, and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The kiln is constructed of brick in an English garden wall bond. It stands approximately 15 metres high and has an opening on the southwest side, with a timber lintel set beneath a relieving arch of engineering brick; a corresponding opening on the east side is now blocked. A band of seven courses of white engineering brick is visible 2.5 metres above ground level. Walker's Pottery operated from the early 19th century until around 1914, producing pipes, tiles and low-grade pottery for agricultural use, as well as bricks.
