What was the pub on Market St called, on left hand side heading towards M&S, you had to go down stairs?
There was also another pub roughly where WH Smith and Pizza Hut are now opposite the side of M&S, anyone remember what that was called? I'm obviously an old bugger and my memory's goingMIke royden

The founder of this firm was my grandfather - Henry Mountford Williamson (Heathcote being the name of the street in Longton where the factory was situated).
My research shows that he started trading in the mid 1960s and that in 1969 he was living in Hanley working as a gilder but I don't know for which firm. I do know that he did his apprenticeship at Brownfields of Cobridge. The back stamp AD 1858 appears on wares after Henry's death but the firm was still being run by his children.
I cannot find any event that occured in 1858 which points to why they used this date and am inclined to think that it was picked at random. Any comments or questions
