Earthenware manufacturer, Anchor Road, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.
British Anchor Pottery used Rawland & Marsellus Co for exports to America
The works closed during the war period 1940-1945 and the business carried on at the J&G Meakin Eagle & Eastwood works in Hanley.
After the Second Word War business was resumed at the Anchor Road works.
At some time the business was purchased by the Gailey Group Ltd. (a Staffordshire property company).
In 1970 the Gailey Group gained control of Thomas Poole & Gladstone China Ltd and merged their British Anchor business into their new acquisition.
British Anchor’s earthenware and Thomas Poole & Gladstone China’s ‘Royal Stafford’ bone china became brand names of a new subsidiary ‘Hostess Tableware Ltd’ (Hostess Tableware had been a British Anchor trade name since the 1960’s).
Ware continued to be produced at the Anchor Road works.
