Godwin Tiles
William Godwin began manufacturing quarry tiles, bricks and drainpipes at his factory in Lugwardine, Herefordshire in 1851. In later years, William went into partnership with his son and traded as ‘Godwin & Co’, a name that would become reputable until long after William’s death in 1925.
Minton & Co.
To this day, Minton & Co. are considered one of the major pottery and porcelain manufacturers of British history.
Established in 1793, the company was founded by Thomas Minton (1765 – 1836) in Stoke-on-Trent. Until 1845, the pottery manufacturers traded under various styles before adopting the ‘Minton’ name.
Minton exhibited at trade exhibitions across the globe, establishing a firm reputation for excellence in pottery and earthenware.
