About the maker :
The Booth's family business in pottery manufacture was started by Thomas Booth in Burslem in the 1850's and from 1868 at the Church Bank Works in Tunstall.
Thomas's son - Thomas Gimbert Booth was in business with his father and in 1876 continued on his own account.
By 1881 the factory employed 50 Men, 60 Boys, 15 Women, and 30 Girls
From 1883 - 1887 he was joined by his brother Frederick as T G & F Booth.
In January 1887 Frederick left the business and Thomas Gimbert continued on his own account.
The business was registered as a limited company about 1898, and Thomas acted as managing director until 1904 then as chairman.
Thomas Gimbert Booth died September 1907
By 1914 the company employed 800 people
In the 1920s the Person Group acquired an interest in Booths and then later full ownership - the name Booths was retained.
In 1944 Booths acquired Colclough China Ltd - merging with them in 1948 to become Booths & Colclough Ltd
In 1948 the two companies merged to become Booths & Colclough Ltd. Manufacturing continued at their separate sites.
In 1953 the Lawley Group (already owners of Ridgway & Adderley Ltd) acquired control of Booths & Colclough.
From January 1955 the combined companies continued as Ridgway & Adderley, Booths & Colclough Ltd.
In February 1955 the name was changed to Ridgway Potteries Ltd.
