 Brownhills Works, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent
In 1933 it was realised that the demand for Richards tiles was rapidly rising beyond the point at which it could be satisfied from the Pinnox Works, and it was decided to lay down an entirely new supplementary plant.
A large site having been acquired at Brownhills - a few hundred yards from the parent establishment - building operations were commenced in the autumn of the year mentioned, and the new factory was opened in the summer of 1934.
The progress policy manifested in the Brownhills venture is no new departure; it has been the everyday life of the firm for very many years, with the result that the Pinnox plant has been kept well abrest of the times.
