Lot 5. A Messuage, House, Barn, and Stable, Two Cowhouses, and other Edifices in Wheatcroft aforesaid, and also a large Orchard, planted with Fruit Trees, and six several Closes therto belonging, tythe free, containing about 18 acres, formerly in the holding of William Street, deceased, paying a Chief rent of Two pence halfpenny per ann., and subject to an annuity of Twenty shillings a year, payable thereout to the Vicar of Crich, for the time being. N.B.--There’s a large quantity of Potter’s Clay in this Farm. “The Potters’ Clay Delph,” or “Delph of Pot Clay,” is also stated to go through two other of the lots. Mr. Robinson, who has searched into matters regarding the Crich Pottery, gives me the following particulars. They were situated near the “Pot-House Farm,” as the place is still called. The buildings still remain and are known as the “Pot-House Hillocks.” After the bankruptcy of Thomas Dodd, the works were carried on by George Bacon, and at his death passed into the hands of his son, Edward Bacon, who gave up the earthenware manufacture and converted the place into a brickyard; this also he closed about 1810. Of the ware made here, which appears to have been brown ware, like that of Brampton, nothing reliable is known. A posset-pot, formerly belonging to the landlord of the Horse and Groom, a public-house a mile off, is said to be an undoubted example; it bears the names of the then landlord and his wife--“John and Mary Wood, 1794.” A spill-board weight, bearing on one side the date 1760, with initials, and on the other the initials G B (supposed to be George Bacon) and a fleur-de-lis, is also supposed to have been made here. LANGLEY MILLS. _Langley Mill Pottery._--This pottery was established by its present owner, Mr. James Calvert, in 1865, and was the first established in the neighbourhood. The productions are vitrified stoneware of similar character and quality to that of Messrs. Bourne at Denby. In this ware a large trade is done in ginger-beer, ink, beer, and other bottles, and all the usual domestic vessels--jars, pitchers, hot-water bottles, foot-warmers, jugs, mugs, &c.--are produced from clay found in the neighbourhood. The works are extensive and well arranged, consisting of three kilns for brown ware and one for Bristol ware. ILKESTON.
