Description
St Peter's Pottery was built in 1817 by Thomas Bell and Thomas Fell trading as Thomas Fell and Company. The company produced white, sponged, printed and enamelled wares. In 1869 Fell and Company became a limited liability company, subsequently specialising mainly in white and coloured domestic earthenware and a small amount of lustreware. The last known reference to the firm was in 1891.
