A potter's kiln was found when the old windmill, which stood on the south side of Butt Road near the Salisbury Hotel, was pulled down in 1890. In that year the Museum acquired 'a portion of the top of a Roman pottery kiln on which the vessels were set for baking' (given to the museum by Henry Laver (COLEM1890.55).<1><2>
