Tams Group In 1864 John Tams and William Lowe were two pottery companies who came from a partnership "Tams & Lowe" which split up in 1874. John Tams then formed the company on his own, in 1903 became John Tams & Son and in 1912 John Tams Ltd.
The company operated from
the Crown Works on The Strand in Longton and also had the Blythe,
Sutherland and Atlas works in Longton - and a warehouse at the former
Monarch flatware site in Fenton. In 2006 the group went into receivership
and finally closed.
