Bailey & Bevington

Location and period of operation:

  China, Stoneware and Parian manufacturers, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent

Mr Bailey joined John Bevington at the Swan Works, Elm Street, Hanley c.1867.  John Bevington had been a partner (from c.1856) with his father Samuel Bevington. John carried on the works after his fathers retirement and death in 1863.

Probably the works were divided because in 1866-70 the works were recorded as being in the hands of W. L. Evans & Co (the '& Co' probably includes John Bevington).
Also Bailey, Murrells & Co  are recorded as having the works in 1863-64

Together Mr Bailey and John Bevington took from Wilkinson & Co the Kensington Works in St. James Street, Broad Street, Hanley. Mr. Bailey retired in 1872 and John Bevington carried on the works until c.1889.
