Original moulds from the Hunslet Works can be seen through the door, also on display are the wheel and tools used by George W. Senior, the last of the Leeds Potters. the Green Bros. started the works in the late 18th century and were famous for their Queensware, a cream coloured earthenware with a fire glaze finish. The shop is located on Stephen Harding Gate, a reconstructed Victorian street named for St Stephen Harding, Abbot of St Citeaux, who along with St Bernard founded the Cistertian Order to which Kirkstall Abbey belonged.
