The original Old Hall Works was in operation from 1805 to 1902 and was build on the site of a works built in 1790

The phrase 'Ye Olde Hall' is pseudo-archaic spelling of old relating to an old-fashioned style that is intended to be quaint and attractive - ‘Ye Olde Tea Shoppe’ - the same applied to 'Potterie' which was never actually spelt this way by the original pottery companies.
