(a) Of Greengates Tunstall; (b) afterwards of Newport; (c) of Hill Top; (d) of the Phœnix Works, Tunstall; (e) of Hill Top; (f) of Longport; (g) of Brownhills; (h) of Fountain Place; (i) of Market St.; (j) of Shelton New Hall; (k) of High St.; (l) of Vale Pleasant; (m) of Shelton Old Hall; (n) of Broad St. Works; (o) of Cliffgate Bank; (p) afterwards Copelands; (q) afterwards Adams’; (r) of Market St., Longton; (s) of the Foley Works; (t) of High St., Longton. Of course this list is fallible. Josiah and Thomas Wedgwood potted at Etruria, not Fenton; John Turner, shown at Fenton, should probably be the Turner of Lane End; the Josiah “Wood” of Burslem is almost certainly Josiah Wedgwood, who owned at that time the old Churchyard Works, in which he had been born. (They were sold in 1795 to Thomas Green, and on his bankruptcy in 1811 passed to John Moseley). Again, both S. and J. Cartlich, and Wm. Adams, who certainly potted at Golden Hill and Greengates respectively, are included with other Tunstall potters in the Burslem list. [Illustration: WILLIAM ADAMS 1777-1805] This William Adams of Greengates (1745-1805)[129] achieved a great reputation for his Jasper and Black Basalt ware. He was a cadet of the Adams family, a family which is almost as much identified with the potting industry as is the family of Wedgwood. Four generations had potted at Burslem “Brickhouse” in succession to Thomas Adams who died a “potter” in 1629, and at the end of the eighteenth century the representative of this branch of the family, another William Adams, was a master-potter at Cobridge, and could lay some claim to the introduction of under-glaze blue printing into Staffordshire. The life of Adams of Greengates is given in “William Adams—an old English Potter,” Ed. by Wm. Turner, F.S.S. Born in 1745, he was apprenticed to Josiah Wedgwood, and became his most adept pupil. He commenced manufacturing on his own account at Greengates about 1787, and the jasper he turned out is difficult to distinguish from that of Wedgwood. No doubt he had full particulars of body and firing, but other potters had that information and yet failed to produce the same class of ware.[130] This William Adams died in 1805, and his son wasted his property and sold the Greengates works about 1820 to John Meir.[131] Of recent years, however, the Greengates works have been repurchased by the senior branch of the Adams family, and it is now managed in conjunction with their old Greenfield works adjoining. For the first time in 1787 the mail coaches to London began to run daily. The best days of coach travel were yet to come, but even these early coaches kept up a steady seven miles an hour. Their time table is given as follows: London (“Swan with Two Necks”) 9 p.m., St Albans 11 p.m., Coventry 9 a.m., Lichfield 1 p.m., Stone 5 p.m., Newcastle (149 miles) 7 p.m., Warrington 2 a.m., Carlisle 2 p.m.[132] [Illustration: JOHN WOOD OF BROWNHILLS 1746-1797]
