Abstract

AbstractJesse Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill in Stoke-on-Trent is the most complete surviving example of a typical nineteenth century steam powered potter's millers works. Built in 1856 it remained in production until 1972. Restoration of the site has been ongoing since 1978 and has been described in an article by Tony Green, Barry Job, Jim Kelly, Mike Walton and Barry Woolfson in S.I.A.S. Journal 1989 and in Industrial Archaeology Review, Autumn 1986 Vol IX, 57-70.This paper continues the story with a description of how a secondhand Cornish boiler has been installed following an archaeological excavation at the site.
