A pottery company "Meakin Brothers" was recorded in the trade directories as operating at the Trent Pottery, Burslem from c.1865 to 1873 - producing earthenware for the export market. It is not 100% definite, but highly probable that Charles & Alfred were in business together, prior to the establishment of their individual concerns and that the "Meakin Brothers" were Charles and Albert "C & A Meakin" - it is known that Charles operated from the Trent Pottery, Burslem and Albert Meakin started business in Tunstall in 1874 - which was the year after "Meakin Brothers" were recorded at Trent Pottery, Burslem
