Hi,
This is part of a report from 1892

RIPLEY ADVERTISER
JUNE 11TH 1892
SERIOUS FIRE AT MESSRS CALVERT
AND LOVATTS ART POTTERY
LANGLEY MILL
£800 DAMAGES

One of the most destructive fires which ever occurred in the district of Langley Mill took place during Wednesday night and Thursday morning, at the works of Messrs Calvert and Lovatt, the well-known Art Pottery at Langley Mill. Those works are situated within 200 yards of the Midland Station, and employ a large number of men, boys, women, and girls, about 40 of whom will be thrown out of employment for at least a month or two. This firm have acquired more than a common connection in business circles, as they have for many years past turned out first class goods, which includes a variety of common earthenware, bottles , vases, jugs, spittoons, hand-painted goods, glazed and slipped, and other art goods too numerous to mention.
