St Philip’s Pottery 3
By 1810, when they first appear in the Port Books, Henry Yabbicom I’s sons, Henry Yabbicom II and Thomas Bawn Yabbicom, had established a Pottery in Avon Street manufacturing stone ware. It seems likely that they shared the same premises as their father who carried on his own Pottery at the same time, and they are both referred to as St Philip’s Pottery 3.
| c1810-36 | Henry Yabbicom II and Thomas Bawn Yabbicom ran the St Philip’s Pottery 3, the firm trading as H & T Yabbicom. |
In 1837 Edward Yabbicom replaced Thomas Bawn Yabbicom in the partnership.
| 1837-42 | Henry Yabbicom II and Edward Yabbicom ran the St Philip’s Pottery 3, the firm trading as H & E Yabbicom. |
The Pottery closed in 1842, on Edward yabbicom’s death, with Henry Yabbicom II concentrating his production at the Temple Back Pottery 2. The Pottery was advertised to let in 1844 and it seems to have been taken over by William Henry Pardoe in 1847.
Temple Back Pottery 2
| 1843-62 | Henry Yabbicom II was operating the Temple Back Pottery 2. |
The Pottery was advertised for sale in 1861 and the remaining stock was advertised in March 1862. The Pottery then appears to have closed.
