"This company was established in 1895 and operated out of the Boothen Road Tiles Works in Stoke. They made good quality tiles, mostly moulded in the early period but a few transfer printed, and were the first company to adopt on a large scale the tunnel kiln, which was to revolutionise pottery production and also to change the skyline in Stoke as bottle kilns eventually became obsolete.

The tile back with radiating bars is almost instantly recognisable.." robmcrorie
