About Swift and Elkin
Swift & Elkin made earthenware in Flint Street, Longton. John Swift, Samuel Elkin and John Nicholls were originally partners; Nicholls left in 1840 and Elkin in 1843. Swift then worked briefly with James Brindley until 1844. The works were offered for sale that September, and Swift subsequently petitioned for insolvency.
