Excavation (24 April 2009 - 13 May 2009)
NS 60346 64289 (centred on) The excavation undertaken 24 April–13 May 2009 uncovered the remains of Christie’s Clay Pipe Factory. Floor levels in the western half had not survived, but in the eastern half most of the heavy machinery bases survived including the kiln base, the foundations for the chimney, the boiler base and the machinery base for the transfer of power to upper floors. The kiln and the chimney do not appear to have been heavily modified during the use of the factory, but the boiler and machinery bases appear to have been modified several times.
