Glass and pottery manufacture at Silkstone, Yorkshire
This article reports an excavation on the site of a 17th-century glasshouse and 18th-century pottery at Silkstone, Yorkshire, and summarizes the results of an intensive analytical programme of scientific analysis of the glassworking debris arising from it. The area excavated was small, but the sieving of soil samples ensured a high rate of recovery of artefacts and debris associated with the industries. A large number of samples of glass and glas…
Excavations at the 17th-18th century Glasshouse at Bolsterstone and the 18th century Bolsterstone Pothouse, Stocksbridge, Yorkshire
Excavations revealed a 17/18th century coal-fired glasshouse furnace of unique design, with its associated working areas, standing within its original building (SK/266980). A wide variety of bottles and decorated tablewares had been produced in soda-lime and lead glasses, both coloured and plain, together with plain and coloured window glass. It was succeeded in the late 18th century by a pottery producing slip-decorated and black-glazed redware

Excavations at Houndhill, near Barnsley, Yorkshire
A ‘cottage’ weaving industry was established at Houndhill, family seat of the Elmhirsts in Worsbrough, near Barnsley, during the mid-16th century. It ceased early in the 17th century but excavation has shown it was revived under new ownership in the late 18th century. During the 19th century the mill became a general farm store and was totally demolished in the 1930s to permit a garden extension. The excavation was planned to retain any remaining…
Glasshouses at Gawber and Blunden’s Wood
Excavations at Gawber Glasshouse, near Barnsley, Yorkshire
From about 1700 until 1821 clear window glass and clear and coloured bottle glass was being produced at Gawber (N.G.R. SE/327076), two miles north-west of Barnsley, Yorkshire. Knowledge of the early period was limited to a ruined clay furnace, coal fired and probably producing only clear glass. The 18th-/19th-century glasshouse, built during a reconstruction in the 1730s, overlay this furnace and comprised a brick cone on a stone foundation surro…
Excavations at Rockley Smithies, a water-powered bloomery of the 16th and 17th Centuries
Between about 1500 and 1640 iron was smelted by the direct, bloomery, process on the lands of the Rockley family at (N.G.R.) SE/340023, to the south-west of Barnsley, Yorkshire, using charcoal and ore from the well-wooded outcrops of the Tankersley ironstone, adjacent to the site. Evidence for operation early in the 16th century was limited to accumulations of hearth-cinder and of debris from ore-roasting, minor structures and traces of a dam. Ab…
