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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://londongeographies.com/infrastructure/community-responses-to-infrastructure-projects-in-notting-dale|title=Community Responses to Infrastructure Projects in Notting Dale|last=Hardman|first=Josh|date=18 August 2018}}{{Dead link|date=March 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The clay was shaped and fired in a series of brick and tile kilns.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/london/yourlondon/london_history/pottery_lane.shtml "London streets - Pottery Lane"], BBC London, {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041201012236/http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/yourlondon/london_history/pottery_lane.shtml |date=1 December 2004 }}</ref> The only remaining 19th-century tile kiln in London is on Walmer Road.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.london-footprints.co.uk/wknottinghillroute.htm|title=Notting Hill|website=www.london-footprints.co.uk}}</ref> 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.
