Circa 1792. John Rose began his chinaworks at Jackfield about 1790, and moved to Coalport in about 1792. Three of the original brick kilns survive. These are characteristically bottle-shaped of circular program. Two of the kilns are total whilst the third is now truncated and only the base remains. The adjacent and attached buildings are brick-built with tiled roofs, two, three and 4-storeys, modest-paned iron-framed casements in cambered head openings. Gabled plain tile roofs with brick dentil eaves. These chinaworks are an important survival.

The Shropshire Canal was a tub boat canal built to provide coal, ore and limestone to the industrial area of east Shropshire, England, that adjoined the River Severn at Coalbrookdale. It ran from a junction with the Donnington Wood Canal ascending the 316 yard lengthy Wrockwardine Wood inclined plane to its summit level, it produced a junction with the older Ketley Canal and at Southall Bank the Coalbrookdale (Horsehay) branch went to Brierly Hill above Coalbrookdale the major line descended via the 600 yard lengthy Windmill Incline and the 350 yard lengthy Hay Inclined Plane to Coalport on the River Severn. The short section of the Shropshire Canal from the base of the Hay Inclined Plane to its junction with the River Severn is often referred to as the Coalport Canal.

The buildings are house to Coalport China Museum, one of the ten Ironbridge Gorge Museums, which homes the National Collections of Coalport and Caughley china.
