HARWELL John
See the Potteries List section for the Redcliff Back Pottery 2.
| c1756-c59 | It appears that Harwell established a Pottery on Redcliff Back in about 1756, although it was not described as a ‘pothouse’ until 1760. |
The rate books are confusing about when Harwell left the Pottery. The Lamp and Scavenging Rate lists it as John Harwell’s Potthouse between 1760 and 1761, but the Poor Rate and Watch Rate show it as occupied by Richard Frank between 1759 and 1761.
