The clay cellars are associated with stover canal which was a private venture built to transport local ball clay to the staffordshire potteries. The beginning of this clay trade was in the 1740s (doe).

Twelve cellars built soon after canal opened in 1792. Each with central double door at rear, matched by a facing single door facing onto canal. They appear to be in at least 2 separate buildings. The earliest, containing cellars 1-8 and possibly 9 (numbered n-s) is c 130m long, single storey, of rubble. Walls with external buttresses. Internal partition between nos 3+4 is battered. Cellars 5-7 are best preserved and are listed grade ii. Cellars 10-12 are within a separate structure built onto n end of that containing 1-9. Cellar 10 is 2-storey, and has been converted into a house, whether originally 2-storied is not known. Cellars 11+12 were originally single storied. All 3 have external buttresses. Cellars 3+4 are largely demolished, although canal-side wall and a battered internal partition remain. No 9 has been demolished and recently rebuilt. The presence of fireplace + chimneys indicates conversion into offices or dwellinghouses - the latter are depicted within the range on 1861 railway map. In several cases roof levels have been raised - the walls heightened with limestone (pye).
