Grade-II-listed pottery works, dated c1850, in red brick with blue brick decoration. It stands on the south side of Normacot Road, opposite a grassed area fronting the church of St James and St John. The wide arched entrance is typical of factories in this area, although most lack the arched top to the windows and are less highly ornamented. (A more typical example nearby is SJ9143 : Disused factory, Chelson Street, Longton.) The site also includes three bottle kilns to the rear (not visible). Unlike most pottery works in this area, the building is still in use as a factory shop
