SK49NW SWINTON BLACKAMOOR ROAD (north-west side, off)
5/23 Rockingham Kiln
11.12.53 II*
Pottery kiln. Probably early C19. Red brick in English bond, part-rendered. Bottle shape with door in north side and window in south side, both boarded-up. Various bricked openings including doorway in east side. Dentil course beneath capped apex. Formed part of the Rockingham Pottery which evolved from a works established in 1745 by Joseph Flint and continued, from c1755-65, as the Swinton Pottery by Edward Butler (d.1763) and his wife. Passed through various ownerships which, from 1768-c1776, involved William Fenny of Catcliffe Glass Works. From 1785-1806 was controlled and finally run down by Leeds Pottery. From 1806 John Brameld (d.1819) and his son William ran the pottery with financial support from Earl Fitzwilliam. William and his two brothers became bankrupt in 1825 but with more Fitzwilliam support, and now able to produce porcelain, continued in business using the name Rockingham and the griffin emblem. The major undertaking of a service for William IV was achieved in the 1830's at the expense of commercial viability. The works closed in 1842. The kiln is a rare survival of its type in what was an internationally reknowned porcelain works.
