The Hill Works, built in 1814 by John and Richard Riley, replicating the corner plan and arched coach entrance of Enoch Wood’s Fountain Place Works, and displaying the customary Venetian façade.

Pevsner was impressed, considering it to be “one of the best pottery offices and warehouses”. Wade Heath and Co. occupied the building from 1954, and the Hill Works still remains.

Pottery Works. 1814 with later alterations. Brick with slate roofs. 2 right-angled ranges with angled corner forming original entrance bay.

Doorways now blocked, but Palladian windows over survive, and datestone in pedimented gable. Main ranges possibly rebuilt or refenestrated in the later 19th Century.

The design with pedimented canted corner takes advantage of the unusual corner site.
