But it was the youngest son of Aaron Wood, Enoch by name, to whom potters of all time are most indebted, for he was the first collector of pottery. And he collected it to illustrate specially what his family and district had done, and how the industry had progressed. His splendid collection was never catalogued, and as it was divided into four parts at his death and scattered,[141] it is of less value than it ought to have been; but, without it, this or any account of the North Staffordshire Potters’ work must have been a shadow indeed. Enoch Wood (1759-1840) was apprenticed to Palmer of Hanley and remained there some time as a modeller. In 1783 he commenced business at Fountain Place, Burslem, so called from the fountain or pump which he erected there for his factory and work people.[142] He was at first in partnership with his cousin Ralph Wood, who made the Staffordshire figures. About 1790 he was joined by James Caldwell of Lindley Wood, and the firm became “Wood and Caldwell.” He bought Mr Caldwell out in 1819, and thenceforth conducted business as “Enoch Wood and Sons.” He had 12 children and died in 1840 at Fountain Place, the patriarch of the Potteries. His most famous work probably was the well-known bust of John Wesley, made in 1781 when Wesley was stopping at his house during one of his preaching tours in the Potteries. His factory turned out the usual cream colour, black basalt and jasper,[143] but soon after his death the firm got into financial difficulties and closed down. His third son, Edward, was fortunate in being associated with a clever Italian, Count Kuntz, in the development of Italian borax, introduced into the Potteries first in 1828 as a flux for the glaze. In this new business they realized a fortune, and Edward Wood’s descendants are now settled at Browhead in Cumberland. But the borax works in Newcastle are carried on as “H. Coghill and Son” by Douglas and Archibald Coghill.
