The Old Cottage 1991

Here is a picture of the old cottage, at Pot House Hamlet in 1991. Today the old glassworks is built in its place. Underneath lies the national ancient monument for a 17th century glassworks and 18th century pottery which were excavated by English Heritage in 2003, who then deemed the site a National Ancient Monument (No 35494 authorised by the Secretary of State for Culutre, Media and Sport on the 12th June 2003). This is the first of its kind in South Yorkshire for at least 28 years, something that we can all be proud of. There were two glassworks, one a green glass and the other white.
