Missing a storey.

            One of our still functioning pottery manufacturers, Heron Cross Pottery Limited whose factory sits between Chilton Street and Hines Street, Heron Cross, Stoke-on-Trent, still producing earthen ware goods whilst many of its competitors have ceased to trade.
This potbank, constructed in and around 1876 by Hines Brothers on what was a former colliey, was originally a three storey range but was remodelled following a fire. This part of the factory (range) along with the associated bottle kiln is grade II listed.
It was bought by Grimwades Pottery in 1907 and carried on production until World war 2 when it was requisitioned by the goverment to store mines and bully beef (an unusual combination). It was purchased in 1961 by Frank William Ridge Senior and is still operated by the family, the current owner being Christopher Ridge.
As can be seen, the bottle kiln has been incorporated into the factory. 
Also visible on this elevation is the ghost sign for the one time Frit Kiln Restaurant. The lower sign board used to read "Heron Cross Pottery".
