Description
The Falcon Pot Works, currently occupied by Weatherby's, is a pot bank established in 1906, although the site was in use as early as 1891. It is constructed of brick with plain tiled roofs and features extensive workshop ranges that are loosely grouped around a yard. The entrance range is three storeys high and consists of 23 bays, with an entrance arch on the left side of the elevation. This arch has a cast-iron lintel and mosaic lettering that reads "Falcon Pottery." The windows have blue and red brick cambered heads, and there are blue brick bands. The facade is more refined compared to the rougher brickwork seen in the side elevations, suggesting it may have been refronted from an earlier structure. Inside the courtyard, there is a squat bottle kiln, which is a circular hovel over a downdraught oven, alongside an earlier range of buildings. The site also contains the remains of one of the few surviving muffle kilns in the city. The works extend back from Old Town Street, featuring eight bays in the side elevation of the frontage range, along with a later addition that is a three-storeyed range of twelve bays.
