Ivy House Works, Burslem
The ‘House and Work Houses’ were rented by Josiah Wedgwood I from 1 May 1759, from his kinsman John Wedgwood of the Big House, Burslem.
This was the first site occupied by Josiah Wedgwood, and he remained there until the end of 1762, or possibly the beginning of 1763, when he moved location to the larger Brick House Works, which were nearby. From this time Josiah’s cousin, Thomas Wedgwood (1734-1788), (known as ‘Useful’ Thomas) agreed to work as a journeyman.
