The area in the west around Pottery Lane was used in the early 19th century for making bricks and tiles out of the heavy clay dug in the area.
The clay was shaped and fired in a series of brick and tile kilns.
The only remaining 19th-century tile kiln in London is on Walmer Road.
In the same area, pig farmers moved in after being forced out of the Marble Arch area.
Avondale Park was created in 1892 out of a former area of pig slurry called "the Ocean".
This was part of a general clean-up of the area which had become known as the Potteries and Piggeries.
