Thomas Williams, Basford & Trent Vale Tileries, Stoke

In the course of a most satisfactory mooch around Hanley with Capitol 203 we happened upon this brick on a site adjacent to Sun Street. Unfortunately it was firmly fixed to its compatriots and in too delicate a state to chip out, so there it stays.

Thomas Williams was operating his brickworks at Etruria by the 1860s and was still in business in 1904. The works does not appear in the 1912 Kelly's directory.
