Wetheriggs Pottery

It opened in the mid 19th century providing farm and housewares for local consumption, later the business diversified into craft pottery.

Its beginnings can be traced to 1855 when local clay from Clifton Dykes was used for the production of bricks, tiles and pipes.

From 2006 to 2014 Wetheriggs Zoo and Animal Sanctuary operated on the site until it moved to another location.

Although these historic buildings are in a relatively dilapidated state, it is considered these make a positive contribution to the area and would benefit vastly from upheaval and restoration back to their original character.
