Lycett's shop was in the old Enoch Wood Fountain Place pottery works
on the corner of Westport Road (was Liverpool Road) and Packhorse Lane

In 2000 the building was restored and converted into flats

 



 


Old postcard of Fountain Place, Burslem

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.

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
