Remains of a salt glaze pottery kiln, Bovey Tracey
These remains have been preserved at the Bovey Tracey Heritage Centre since 2007. They are the remains of a salt glaze kiln that was in use from 1750 to 1780 and are the most complete remains of an 18th century pot kiln surviving in the UK. Salt glazed ware was made by throwing common salt into the kiln at the peak temperature of the firing process. This produced a waterproof glaze with a characteristic orange peel pattern. It also produced toxic chlorinated smoke.

Former goods shed, Bovey Tracey
The form and location of this building alongside a former station leads me to conclude it was a railway good shed at the Bovey Tracey end of the line to Moretonhampstead. It is next door to the Heritage Centre in the former station building.
