The Middleport Pottery of Burgess and Leigh (opened 1888)  

Brushing and selection of biscuit ware

 

Location 17 on the index diagram

The fired biscuit ware is brushed to 
remove small bits of adhering clay
This has to be done in a well ventilated booth to
prevent inhalation of the dust by the workers.
