Date:1890
Description:The Pomona Inn was located on Lower Street. Before it became a pub it was a house inhabited by potters Samuel Bell (1724-44) and later William Steers (1744- 47). In the back yard was the pottery kiln used by William Steers in trials of soft-paste porcelain. In the late 1960s excavations at the site found many important waster's. Wasters are trial pieces of porcelain; Porcelain was highly prized at the time as only Chinese people knew how to make it. These wasters were named after the pub 'Pomona' and are currently held at the museum.
