Four bottle kilns at TG Greens Pottery, John Street, Church Gresley, Swadlincote - South Derbyshire
Four C19 bottle kilns and surrounding factory complex of the T G Green & Co pottery, which is particularly famous for its 'Cornish Ware'. The buildings are vacant and have suffered from vandalism. Long standing defects to roof coverings, rainwater goods, and unsecured openings have not been addressed. Roof trusses have failed causing major collapses. The owner has applied to demolish selected buildings. Historic England has discussed a grant-aided condition survey with the owner and Council. The Council instead intends to work on a feasibility study for the site, but no progress has been made.
