This site was the first and last place where pottery was manufactured in the town, seeing continuous production from David Dunderdale's Castleford Pottery established in 1790, through to Clokie & Co which closed in 1961. The remaining buildings date from the mid-19th century, the piles of coal mark the site of one of the cone ovens.
