Location: Chapel Lane, Burslem - outside the Health Centre Installed: 1998 Commissioned by: North Staffordshire NHS Trust Architect: Philip Wootton Blacksmith: Edmund Sveikutis There are four separate panels in the gates, each of which show figures outlined in steel and filled in with wire mesh coloured in red, blue, yellow, green, orange, brown and white. The hands decorating the plate and shaping the pot commemorate the ceramics industry and its significance in the industrial development of the area. Other motifs - the mother holding her baby, the crawling infants, and the obviously healthy children playing children - allude to community health services, past and present, available within the health centre.

The oven is at A G Hackney's Fountain Place Works and is photographed from Fountain Place. A modern picture Image appears not to include the oven I would be grateful for news of its continued survival. In 1988 the Potteries Heritage society published a list of the 46 surviving bottle ovens. I wonder what the number is nearly 20 years later.
