The Hycroft China Factory was shut down in 1989. Toilets and China were made here. This site was designated a Provincial Historical Site in 1995.
Small out building on the site.
This Historic symbol was also imprinted on the pottery and china that was made here.
In 1992 the Hycroft Factory was donated to the Friends of Medalta Society.
You can see where the Train used to run between the buildings.

A beehive Kiln aka circular tunnel kiln.
In 1994 the Clay Products Interpretive Center was established.

This type of roof was seen on many structures when Medicine Hat was young. Even wooden structures.
Looking East at the back of the site.
An old pile of bricks.
Remnants of the past.
Barbed Wire also known as The Thorny Fence and is definitely a part of Albertas History.
In the background, a view of the Medalta Potteries and the Cliffs of Medicine Hat that overlook the South Saskatchewan River.
No activity today.
Evidence the 2010-2011winter cut deep into this old Brick structure. Can the Friends of Medalta fix this? I hope so.
