J.H.Weatherby's Falcon Works
Messrs. J H Weatherby & Sons established a small works at Tunstall in 1891.
In the following year they moved to the larger Falcon Pottery at Hanley.
Good quality earthenware tableware has been produced up to the present time.
The marks include the initials J H W & Sons or the name 'Weatherby'.
The site consists of Brick with plain tiled roofs. Extensive workshop ranges loosely grouped around yard. Entrance range of 3 storeys and 23 bays, with entrance arch to the yard towards the left of elevation, with cast-iron lintel and mosaic lettering: "Falcon Pottery".
The courtyard contained Squat bottle kiln a circular hovel over downdraught oven, adjoining an earlier range of buildings. The remains of one of the few surviving muffle kilns in the City are also housed on this site.
The works extends back from Old Town Street, with 8 bays in the side elevation of the frontage range, and a further 3-storeyed range of 12 bays beyond, a later addition.
the place is a bit of an old classic but still very photogenic, so a full compliment of pics again on this one for u.
Thanks For looking.
