I was not aware of this place until I seen a report on it last summer and as with Octel Bromine it was the medical room that caught my eye. And a little beauty it was too. Great decay with some nice features left. This place is rather big. The sort of place that seems to keep going and going with shit loads to have a look at. The old kilns where very nice, especially a big walk in one down in the lower levels. Some cool decay and nature egress in here also plus some collapsed floors and roofs in parts. A cracking mooch this one which I thoroughly enjoyed. Visited with Paul 2129.
History
T.G.Green & Co Ltd originally operated from the village of Church Gresley, South Derbyshire between 1864 and 2007.
More famous for their blue and white striped 'Cornish Kitchen Ware' produced from the early 1920's (then known as 'E-Blue') the pottery produced many hundreds of patterns from Yellow wares, Victorian transfer prints, colourful hand painted Art Nouveau & vibrant enamelled Art Deco patterns, Wartime utility pottery, avant garde Retro designs and many well known Brewery wares, employing up to 1,000 local staff at the height of production.
Now, the old pottery site lays in ruins, the land under private ownership, never likely to ever see production again, the last of the South Derbyshire potteries has gone, although as it nears its 100th anniversary the traditional Cornishware is still manufactured and sold through a new T.G.Green & Co Ltd.

I've had a pop at this place a few times but never managed it. I've not been for a good 2 yrs now.

Great report.

You and me both, they've recently gone a bit crazy with the anti-climb paint over literally everything. Doesn't help that the grounds are occupied by some kind of reclaim business and the owner really doesn't take kindly to trespassers!

Nice shots @Ferox

Sorry to bump an old thread but I was thinking of this place the other day after I saw a recent video of Mr Angry or one of his goons ramming his Range Rover through some bushes to scare off trespassers. Had a couple of cracks at it in 2015/16 but didn't last long either time!
