George Codling's engraving of the Herculaneum Potteries ^ c.1806.
The Mill Street Windmill [currently the site behind Corn Street] is shown on the higher fore-ground, on the extreme RH side of this image. The windmill is also highlighted on the image below, in the 'red' boxes.

Analysis of Herculaneum Potteries drawing ^
I have drawn the sight-lines of the artist, and the possible location from where he painted [or drew] the scene from? The Windmill is highlighted on the drawing in 'red' boxes, or a 'red' circle on the map.
The dashed 'blue' line traces the ridge of the higher land [or plateau] shown on the map, and which is evident on the image, as the Potteries appear to be located at a much lower elevation, than the land seen in the fore-ground - from where the scene was painted from.

Also notice the triagular block of workers houses on both the image and map?
