Finds from Bridgnorth

Whilst the snow and rain have been driving down outside, post-excavation work for the Bridgnorth evaluation has been going on inside. Here is a selection of some of the finds...

A rather gaudy selection showing the wide range of ceramics dumped in the river bylet.

Some lovely late 17th century slipware.

A selection of 19th century glass bottles, including Wollstein, Ironbridge (centre).

Malthouse drying floor tiles, 19th century. The '4-hole' design to the rear is probably the earliest.

Maws 'sandwich' encaustic tile, dated to between 1860 and 1870 and made at their works in Benthall.

The back of the tile - confirming the date range before the move to their Jackfield works in 1883.



Many thanks to Dr. Tony Herbert and Michael Vanns for information on the Maws Tile.

I was wondering what comments you have on coalbrokdale to suggest any facts that the reconstruction of the 1805 model within the Museum of Iron, Coalbrookdale, has presented a substancial amomout of evidence to clarrify that what they have presented is more or less correct.
