The goods made by Messrs. Wood & Baggaley
are generally confined to the home market; they produce printed and
decorated goods in dinner, toilet, tea, and breakfast services, and
green glazed dessert ware, which, to some extent, they export. The mark
used by the firm is a bee, with wings expanded; beneath which is a
ribbon, with the initials, M W & CO, or W & B.

Canadian, and other foreign markets.

_High Street Pottery._--This manufactory, usually known as “Union
Bank,” through its having been for some time worked by the Potters’
Trades’ Union, belonged at one time to a family named Marsh; and was
also carried on by Messrs. Whittingham, Ford, & Co., from whom it
passed into the hands of the present proprietors, Messrs. Buckley,
Wood, & Co. The goods produced are ordinary earthenware for the common
home trade, and the mark used is simply the initials B W & CO.

_Sneyd Pottery_, Albert Street.--These works were formerly carried
on for the production of ordinary earthenware, by Messrs. Bennett.
About 1867 they came into the hands of Williams, Oakes, & Co., and in
1876 the firm was altered to Oakes, Clare, & Chadwick, who produce in
Rockingham, jet, majolica, and common earthenware, the ordinary classes
of articles. They also make chest of drawers feet in large numbers, of
various designs.

_Hadderidge Pottery._--These works, carried on by Mr. Thomas Heath,
and afterwards, successively, by Mr. John Wedgwood, Mr. Phillips, and
Messrs. W. & G. Harding, came into the hands of the firm of Heath &
Blackhurst in November, 1859, by whom they are still continued. The
productions are a middle-class quality of earthenware, both plain and
decorated, for the home trade. In this class all the usual table,
toilet, tea, and other services, and a variety of other articles, are
made. The mark is a garter, encircling the initials H & B.

_Navigation Road._--The works of Mr. Edward Corn, erected some time
back on what was a timber yard, and now carried on by Messrs. W. & E.
Corn, are exclusively devoted to the production of white graniteware
for the United States and other foreign markets.
