J H Cope & Co

Longton

1887

China manufacturer at the Wellington Works, Longton.

Originally in partnership with Warrilow at the Wellington Works, Stafford Street, Longton until they parted ways.

After the dissolution of this partnership, J.H. Cope & Co remained at the Wellington Works producing "Wellington China" until the firm went out of business in 1946. The location of the factory can be clearly seen on the extract from the 1877 OS map showing Commerce Street: it is, in fact, now (2000) the site of the car park for the Tams factory.
