Farnham Pottery, Victorian pottery workshop in Wrecclesham, Surrey, England

The complex includes multiple structures such as pottery workshops, a circular kiln, water cistern, entrance block, and former forge spread across the grounds.

Established in 1873 by Absalom Harris, the pottery initially produced utility items like drainpipes and tiles before expanding into decorative art pottery in the 1880s.

The pottery developed strong connections with the Farnham School of Art, leading to the creation of distinctive green-glazed products sold at Liberty's and Harrods.

The facility currently houses ceramic workshops and classes operated by West Street Potters, continuing the traditional pottery making practices in the historic space.

The site contains the last remaining wood-fired circular double-flued updraught kiln from five original kilns that operated during the Victorian period.
