New Inn + bottle oven
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.
