Description

The Former Coalport Chinaworks, established around 1792, is an important historical site. John Rose began his chinaworks at Jackfield around 1790 and relocated to Coalport about two years later. Three original brick kilns remain, characterized by their bottle-shaped, circular design. Two of these kilns are intact, while the third is truncated, with only its base still visible. The surrounding buildings are constructed of brick with tiled roofs, ranging from two to four storeys. They feature small-paned, iron-framed casements set in cambered head openings, and the roofs are gabled with brick dentil eaves. These chinaworks represent a significant example of industrial heritage.
