The importance of the canals to the ceramic industry is well illustrated by the photograph: piles of ceramic wares and bottle kilns line the water's edge.

The Dale Hall Works 1910 - 1950 (c.)

The Trent and Mersey canal was built by James Brindley between 1766 and 1777 and transported raw materials and finished goods to and from a large number of pottery factories in Stoke-on-Trent. The factory in the centre of this picture is Dunn Bennett Pottery and the one to the right is Longport Pottery.
