About Waterloo Kiln
Waterloo Kiln is believed to be the only surviving nineteenth century pottery kiln in Yorkshire. The pottery operated in Swinton from 1745 to 1842, operating as the internationally famous Rockingham Works from 1826 until its closure.
It is one of the few places in the country representing the development from coarse earthen wares for the local market, to fine porcelain and pottery for export.
