Campbell Brick & Tile Co
Campbell Brick & Tile Co, based in Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent, was founded by Robert Minton Taylor in 1869.
The company was later bought out by Colin Minton Campbell in 1875, who continued Taylor’s business initially as Minton Brick & Tile Co.
In 1875, he changed the name to Campbell Brick & Tile Co in 1875. This was after tile manufacturers Minton Hollins, previously Minton & Co, had taken out a court order to stop Taylor and Campbell using the Minton name for tile production.
The company traded as Campbell Tile Co from 1882 and was absorbed by H & R Johnson-Richards in 1968.
