Bone China and earthenware manufacturer at a number of locations in Stoke-on-Trent, England
The business was started in 1938 by Percy E. Bairstow, probably at a premises at the junction of Brunswick Street and North Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Manufacturing moved a number of times including William Street, Fenton; the Fancies Fayre Pottery, Mount Pleasant, Shelton (around 1954); and also at the Trent Walk Pottery in Joiners Square.
The name Bairstow Manor Pottery originated in 1979, when Roger Bairstow, son of Percy took over the reins, having worked in the family business since leaving school.
The company was registered as Bairstow Manor Pottery Ltd in February 1982 with a registered address of Kent Street, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent.
July 1988 the company took a mortgage on a premises in Blackhorse Lane, off Marsh Street, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent and in May 1989 the registered office changed from Kent Street, Fenton.
In May 2007 the registered address was changed to Far Green industrial Estate, Chell Street, Stoke-on-Trent.
In January 2013 an application was made for the company to be wound up voluntarily and in April 2014 - Bairstow Manor Pottery Ltd. was formally dissolved.
The business continues (as at 2020) as Bairstow Manor Collectables, continuing to produce ware, handmade in Stoke-on-Trent. The company specialises in character pieces.

| "P E
Bairstow & Co had their works in Mount Pleasant, in the area known
as Tinkersclough. The company was founded at the end of the Second World
War and initially produced bone china "Fancies Fayre". Later,
Bairstow's produced just earthenware. Mount Pleasant connects Sun Street
with Clough Street although no trace of the pottery remains."
