Hathern Station Brick and Terracotta Company
The Hathern Station Brick and Terra Cotta Company was established in 1874. The business flourished and 'Hathernware' and glazed faience' was exported worldwide during the first three decades of the twentieth century and many cinemas were faced and decorated with the products of this works. Although the company survived into the 1970's when restoration projects began to provide much needed business, takeover by Ibstock finally led to closure of the works in summer 2004.
Today the brickworks site is used as an industrial estate whilst a small terracotta design and restoration workshop is maintained on site for Shaws of Darwen who continue to manufacture terracotta and faience and wisely chose to take advantage of some of the skilled workforce from the Hathern business. The terracotta panels advertising old company can be seen from trains passing on the Midland main line between Nottingham and Loughborough.
