Of Pottery Structures the following are near.

In King Street, the road that leads without a beak into Fenton, the Phoenix Works, dated 1881 but still with the Georgian motif of the tripartite mid-window - only now it is no longer Venetian and the mullions are - blatantly Victorianly - stop-chamfered.

Then the Boundary Works, dated 1819, and one of the best. Seventeen bays, with a five-bay centre raised to two and a half stories. Archway, Venetian window, tripartite window, gable.

In Caroline Street a conical kiln, i.e. an example of the oldest type (Caroline Pottery).

The bottle oven was demolished in 1983

In Sutherland Road the Aynsley Pottery, dated 1861 - and yet still entirely the Georgian type. Fifteen bays, the centre the usual archway, one Venetian window, but a tripartite window above it, because the building now is of three, no longer of two floors.

N of Aynsley's two bottle kilns have so far saved their lives.

Opposite Aynsley's are the Sydney Works of 1879, and they are not under the Georgian spell any longer. The motifs of the central frontispiece are vaguely Italian and entirely Victorian.

In Chadwick Street another two bottle kilns (Salisbury China Co.)

 - these kilns have since been demolished -

and in Green Dock Street the Queen Anne Works, late C19. It till has an echo of the Georgian frontispiece, but is now three stepped arched lights on the first and the same on the second floor. Also the materials are now red brick, yellow brick and yellow stone.
