1862 (1853?) |
1869 |
Luster, China and earthenware manufacturer at the Palissy Works, Chancery Lane, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent
Subsequently: Grove & Robinson (1870-71)
Jewitt states that "These works in Chancery Lane were erected in 1862 by Richard H. Grove..."
The 1861 census records that Richard H Grove was "a China manufacturer employing 15 men, 16 women, 4 boys and 3 girls" so we do know that Grove was in business before 1862.
