Early Ceramic Production in the Ironbridge Gorge
The recent restoration of the Jackfield Tile Museum has provoked a revision of previous thinking on the development of Jackfield as a centre of ceramic manufacture. Jackfield was long known as a centre of the early pottery industry, and certainly developed its own distinctive style of pottery manufacture by the early 18th century. Recent excavation and documentary research has shed more light on this important and previously overlooked industry.
More information on Jackfield ceramics will appear shortly on this website.
