Nothing
set the Potteries sky-line apart
more than the weird bottle shaped
brick buildings -in the heyday
there were up to 4,000 bottle kilns with as many as 2,000 still standing
in the 1950's. The Clean Air Act sounded the death-knell for the smoky,
coal fired oven. There are 46 still standing today - most are listed
buildings.
