China manufacturer at the Burton Place Works, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, England.

  • The Burton Place Works had previously been operated members of the Bevington family and from around 1891 by Ambrose Bevington (another member of the Bevington family) in partnership with Ernest Bevington - and they operated as Hanley Porcelain Company.

  • In 1899 the business was renamed to Hanley China Co. It appears to have been incorporated as a limited company towards the end of 1899. 

  • This was a short lived business and in July 1901 a resolution was passed that the company be wound up because it could not meet its liabilities.
