    How long before the vandals get in and smash the pots?
    Sad to see it closed down.
    Great pics.

    yeh they manufactured cornishware there the famous blue and white striped stuff, from about 1925, when it closed it became really sought after although i think someones now bought the company and they manufacture elsewhere
    its a real interesting place and its huge, you can go into 2 of the kilns both still have pots in, and there is so much fired unpainted pottery lying around, although vandalisms slowly creepigng in

    it is places like this that will suffer heavily from vandalism 'cause it is so easy to just smash some pots up and some idiots think this looks like fun for some reason

    I'd rather they were smashing the pots than smashing up the buildings though!
