Description

Walker's Pottery features a downdraught kiln and an adjacent chimney, both dating from the later 19th century. The kiln is constructed of brick, while the chimney is made of engineering brick. The lower part of the circular kiln has cavities in the wall that open to the outer face through small round arches, and the internal walls of these cavities are highly vitrified. The tall, tapering stack is located to the north-west and has a cornice just below the top. At the time of the survey, the structure was derelict.
