HI SCOTT

MORE THAN PLEASED TO HELP

FIRST TO MY KNOWLEDGE THEY OMLY PRODUCED PORCELAIN SOFT PASTE THEY PRODUCED MAYBE POTTERY SAGGERS TO FIRE THE PORCELAIN BUT NOT ON A COMMERCIAL BASIS,SO LETS CALL IT I PORCELAIN FACTORY.

99.9 % WAS ALL HAND DECORATED BUT I HAVE FOUND 4 PIECES FROM A TEA SET TRANSFER PRINTED

CLAY FROM DEVON AND CORNWALL,LYNN SAND FROM GAINSBOROUGH AND STONE FROM DERBYSHIRE,ONE OF THE COKES ,TALBOT COKE SENT SAMPLES OF CLAY FROM NEWFOUNDLAND BUT I THINK SAMPLES ONLY HE WAS A NAVAL CAPTAIN..

YES THE TURNING CIRCLE AT THE END OF THE CANAL WAS ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE FACTORY THE SITE IS NOW A SCRAP YARD/LORRY GARAGE.WHEN THEY CLEARED THE CANAL TO TURN IT INTO A LEISURE AREA IF COLLECTED MANY SHARDS AND WASTES FROM THE FACTORY

PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL FOR ANY OTHER INFO. MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN THE AREA WE COULD MEET

KIND REGARDS
