See the Potteries List section for the Temple Back Pottery 1 and the St Philip’s Pottery 5.
Temple Back Pottery 1
This Pottery had previously been run by Edward Patience until 1818, when it was sold due to rent arrears. Jonathan Flood was in partnership with someone called ‘Hicks’, although this partnership was dissolved in January 1818, before Flood acquired the Temple Back Pottery 1.
| 1818-47 | Jonathan Flood ran the Temple Back Pottery 1. |
Between 1822 and 1826 he was trading as Flood and Company, his partner for that period probably being John Bright I, as in 1821 the Pottery of ‘Flood and Bright’ was offered for sale.
Jonathan Flood died in February 1847 and the Pottery was taken over by Charles Webb, his son-in-law, who had married Flood’s daughter Leah.
St Philip’s Pottery 5
In 1828 Jonathan Flood took over the Pottery previously run by Mary Sheppard, which had been advertised to let in September 1828.
| 1828-34 | Jonathan Flood ran the St Philip’s Pottery 5. |
From 1834 Flood was listed as a brick and tile maker in St Philip’s Marsh and it appears the St Philip’s Pottery 5 closed.
