Alfred Meakin set up the pottery manufacturing company in 1875 – he died in 1904 and was succeeded by his son Alfred James who died only four years later.
Alfred John’s uncle Robert Johnson bought the company for his son Stuart Johnson and it stayed in the Johnson family’s hands until 1976 when it became Myott-Meakin before becoming part of the Churchill Group.
These 1909 and 1910 adverts showing the Alfred Meakin factories was supplied by Bob Johnson – his Great Grandfather was the Robert Johnson who set up Johnson Bros for the three eldest of his nine sons.
Then he bought Alfred Meakin which he divided into Alfred Meakin (Tunstall) Ltd and H & R Johnson tile company.
