Bowers & Roberts

Bowers & Roberts are listed only in 1873-74 at Greengates, Tunstall. The brickworks seems to have been situated on the opposite side of Furlong Road to the Greengates Pottery and in 1869-70 was in the hands of Jno Meir who was also, I think, owner of the pottery. By 1875-76 Anthony Roberts was the proprietor, followed by Charles Salt in 1879 and William Adams & Co from 1892. It certainly shows how often these works could change hands in the 19th century.

This example can be seen in the comprehensive displays about the North Staffordshire brick industry at the Apedale Heritage Centre.
