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.
