Description:A large bottle oven and a room full of saggars at an unknown tile bank in Tunstall. The kiln door has been sealed and is in the process of firing. Tiles would be placed into the saggars to protect them during coal firing.
Notice the steel bands around the oven to keep the brickwork in place under the tremendous heat during firing.
