Description
Starting in 1815, John Doulton, in partnership with John Watts, and later Doulton's son Henry, began producing pottery in the Lambeth area of London. In 1826 the current factory was built, and over the next several years adjacent sites were bought and expanded to increase factory production as business increased. The factory was shuttered in 1956 once clean air regulations prevented the use of the salt-glaze technique which the factory had come to depend on.
