W.H. Grindley & Co. (Ltd.)
was founded at the Newfield Pottery in 1880 by William Harry Grindley (principle partner) and Mr Turner (the '& Co.'). They produced Earthenware and Ironstone China - particularly for the Canadian, United States, South American and Australian markets. In 1891 the company moved to the Woodfield Pottery, Woodland Street, Tunstall. In 1908 Mr Grindley set up The Grindley Hotel Ware Co.
In 1960 the business was purchased by Alfred Clough Ltd. In 1978 it was renamed Grindley of Stoke (ceramics) Ltd.
Federated Potteries Co. Ltd. took them over in 1982 and in
1988 the business was re-purchased by W. H. Grindley.
1991 saw the company in the hands of the receivers and the same year they were taken over by Woodlands Pottery. This ended their history in business.
