Wetheriggs Pottery, Grade II listed pottery studio in Clifton, England
The pottery studio occupies a historical site on the C3047 road, east of Clifton Dykes, approximately 5 miles southeast of Penrith.
Established in 1855 on the Brougham estate, the facility initially manufactured bricks, tiles, and pipes using local clay from Clifton Dykes.
The site represents traditional English pottery craftsmanship through its preserved beehive kiln and restored steam engine from the manufacturing era.
The facility maintained operations until recent years, when Eden District Council approved plans for its conversion into residential property.
This location operated as the last remaining steam-powered pottery in England, with its machinery restored by industrial heritage expert Fred Dibnah.
