A small paved square in Short Street, between Uttoxeter and Normacot Roads, gives views onto several disused bottle kilns. These four grade-II-listed kilns at the Enson Works on Chelson Street form a rare example of an intact group. The kilns date from the late 19th century; one was moved after 1932. The original site had a further two muffle kilns, now demolished. The Short Street site is now designated a conservation area, and is owned by the Stoke-on-Trent City Council, who are seeking to restore the area for visitor access. For another view, see Image
