 In
1820 Thomas Hughes established the Waterloo Road Works.
These works were carried on by him and then his successors Stephen Hughes & Co until about 1856. From 1856 to 1881 Thomas Hughes (grand son of the original potter) continued in the works. He enlarged, improved and modernised the works.
In 1883/4 Mellor, Taylor & Co took over the Top Bridge Works. Thomas Hughes (& Son) moved to the Unicorn Pottery.
