Excavations at Wellingborough in 1969

… six potters’ kilns were excavated and others located on the site of a new housing estate at Hardwick Road on the western outskirts of the town. Storage jars, mortaria, roof- and floor-tiles were made from the mid-2nd century for over 100 years.” (Britannia, 1970)
