The manufacture of porcelain at Isleworth was commenced by Joseph Shore in 1760, and was continued to be made about forty years. In 1795 Lysons says: “There is a china manufactory at Isleworth belonging to Messrs. Shore & Co.” In 1800 it was discontinued, but the stock is said to have remained on the premises until 1830, when the works, having in the meantime been used for the manufacture of earthenware--principally “Welsh” or “streaked” ware,--were closed. A few years afterwards the manufactory was removed to Hounslow, and the site converted to other purposes. Joseph Shore is said to have come from the Worcester China Works, and his partner and principal painter, Richard Goulding, was his son-in-law, who was, later on, assisted by his son, William Goulding [Sidenote: WM. GOULDING, June 20th, 1770. ✳] (a dated piece of his having the name as in the margin). I am inclined, however, to think that Joseph Shore must have originally belonged to the Derby China Works, as several of that name were connected with them. After Shore’s death, the works were continued by the Gouldings. The works were at Railshead Creek, by the ferry side. STEPNEY. A manufacture of porcelain was carried on here in the middle of last century; for Jonas Hanway, writing in 1750–1, says, “It is with great satisfaction that I observe the manufactories of Bow, Chelsea, and Stepney have made such a considerable progress.” GREENWICH. In 1747 it appears there was a small manufactory of china here, but nothing is known of its history. In the _London Tradesman_ of that year occurs this note:--“Of late we have made some attempts to make porcelain or chinaware, after the manner it is done in China and Dresden. There is a house at Greenwich, and another at Chelsea, where the undertakers have been for some time trying to imitate that beautiful manufacture.” [Illustration: Fig. 368.] [Illustration: Fig. 369.] * * * * *
