The Middleport Pottery of Burgess and Leigh (opened 1888)  

Terraced housing - from the transfer room window

 

Location 24 on the index diagram

The transfer room is on the 1st floor of the frontage part of the building in Port Street. If we look from the window we can see the backs of the terraced houses opposite the potworks.

These houses did not exist when the factory was first built. They were built shortly afterwards for the pottery workers.
