From "A descriptive account of The Potteries (illustrated)
1893 advertising and trade journal. Page 59" 
we know that Messrs. Goodwin and Davison, Earthenware Manufacturers,
operated from the Fountain Place Pottery, Burslem - they must have occupied part of the works which belonged to the now defunct Enoch Wood factory.

Old postcard of Fountain Place (although the card says 'Square')

This picture was taken from St. Johns Square - the fountain was at onetime removed to the Stoke-on-Trent museum in Hanley but in the late 1990's was restored and returned to the top of St. Johns Square.

Photo date: around 1905

Directly behind the fountain can be seen Lycett's Blinds Warehouse. Originally this formed part of Enoch Wood's very large Fountain Place Pottery Works, built in 1789.

The fountain - donated by Enoch Wood
