Springfield Tilery

Springfield Tilery
A delve into the Tarboat archives found a couple of images of the Wheatly & Co Ltd. Springfield tileries at Trent Vale. Wheatly's was established before 1819 and was famous for its 'Triton' brand roofing tiles. In 1978 the company was taken over by Daniel Platt Ltd of Brownhills Tileries in Stoke, then in 1982 works was closed and demolished soon afterwards.

This is an intermittent downdaught kiln.
