Beyond FortySeven — Signed Limited Edition Photography Book by Phil Crow (2026)

Beyond FortySeven is a signed, limited-edition photography guide by Phil Crow, extending his landmark bottle kiln project beyond Stoke-on-Trent to trace surviving kiln structures across the UK.

Only 150 copies printed — each individually numbered and signed by the photographer, and accompanied by a signed A6 postcard. First edition, A5 format.

In the years since the FORTYSEVEN exhibition (2023), Phil has continued to document bottle kilns in all their changing conditions — discovering that the story reaches far beyond the Potteries. A standing oven, a collapsed kiln, a circular scar in the ground: each carrying equal weight, evidencing an industry that shaped communities, landscapes, and ways of life across Britain.

The guide features ground-level and aerial photography, alongside locations and dates — a vital record of a disappearing industrial heritage.
