Description

A museum in the Ironbridge Gorge, presenting the history of Coalport China

<a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/371/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Ironbridge Gorge - UNESCO World Heritage Site</a>

The former Coalport Chinaworks is a Grade II* listed building.

Circa 1792. John Rose started his chinaworks at Jackfield about 1790, and moved to Coalport in about 1792. Three of the original brick kilns survive. These are characteristically bottle-shaped of circular plan. Two of the kilns are complete while the third is now truncated and only the base remains. The adjacent and attached buildings are brick-built with tiled roofs, 2, 3 and 4-storeys, small-paned iron-framed casements in cambered head openings. Gabled plain tile roofs with brick dentil eaves. These chinaworks are an important survival.
