The Brownhills Pottery Works, Tunstall

"Brownhills is situate upon the main Turnpike Road (from Burslem to Lawton,) at the junction of the Branch which comes from Newcastle through Longport; and is at nearly equal distances from the market-places of Tunstall and Burslem; which are rather more than a mile apart. It is within the township of Burslem, which extends, north-westward, as far as an inn called High gate, close up to the town of Tunstall."

"There are two Potworks now carried on at Brownhills ; that of Messrs. Marsh and Haywood, and that of Mr. George Hood ; the latter situate at Highgate, and adjoining the town of Tunstall. All the dwelling-houses and population, southward, of and including Highgate inn, which are now numerous, belong to the township of Burslem, and are included in the statistics of that parish, and this portion of Burslem comprises about 480 inhabitants."
