• Norfolk Pottery Co Ltd was part of the Howard Pottery Group was a manufacturer of general domestic and ornamental earthenware at Norfolk Street, Shelton. The trade name 'Royal Norfolk' was used. 

• The Bailey family owned Howard Pottery Co (formed in 1925) and at the time of the formation of Norfolk Pottery Douglas K Bailey was Managing Director of both companies. 

• In 1974 the Howard Pottery Group was acquired by Taunton Vale Industries (who were a manufacturer of homewares and table accessories) and in February of 1978 Taunton Vale Industries (Potteries) Ltd, the holding company for the acquisition, changed its name to 'Royal Winton Pottery'.
