Holdings Pottery, July 2013

PaulPowers · Jul 9, 2013

Holding's Country Pottery was founded in 1842 by James Holding, but it was not originally located on Haslingden Old Road where it is now. The original pottery was built a short distance away in Gaulkthorn, another outlying area of Oswaldtwistle. In 1860 James Holding moved his business to Broadfield, then in 1900 his son Grimshaw Holding set up the pottery on the present site. From then on the pottery stayed put and the business passed down from father to son

I was traveling across to Accrington and by a fluke my shat nav was taking me directly past so it would be rude not to visit

The place is falling apart but is full to bursting with little artifacts

If I'm honest it was nice to get out of the van for a bit and stretch my legs

There's been so much explorer based arranging of artifacts in there it beggars belief!
