Bottle ovens, Portobello

Two bottle ovens that remain from the once renowned pottery. They are on the junction of Bridge Street and Pipe Lane and access is via Bridge Street. Pipe Street is a no through road; as I found out. The reconstruction has been continuing since before April 2010 but is now more advanced and a wooden former is in place for the sloping section of the hovel.
