About J H Weatherby & Sons (Ltd)
John Henry Weatherby left Whittaker, Edge & Co in 1891 and began earthenware manufacture at part of the Pinnox Works, Tunstall. In early 1892 he moved to the Falcon Works, Hanley. The works expanded through the early twentieth century and later replaced bottle kilns with electric kilns. Production included domestic ware, tableware and giftware. The factory remained operational during the Second World War.
