Surviving bottle kilns in Stoke-on-Trent, which are going to be protected under new plans, are a reminder of the city's huge pottery heritage.

There was no typical type of oven and their style was subject to the whim of their creator although they were all vaguely bottle shaped.

They were used to transform the clay into something resembling the finished pottery product.

Now Historic England are going to fund efforts to protect the dozens which survive.
