Small pot bank. Built for William Moorcroft in
1913 for the production of Florian ware.
Brick with plain tiled roofs. A series of single-storeyed-gabled
ranges, that to the south contain the works' only surviving
circular updraught kiln which has no hovel at ground floor
level.
The works were designed to reflect the social and
legislative concern for health, hygiene, and functionalism, and
were one of the first single storey factories to be built in the
potteries.
