User:Hannnahkl/Alfred Meakin (Tunstall)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Meakin (Tunstall) founded the Royal Albert Works in Tunstall, Staffordshire, in 1873.[1] Beginning in 1877, the company began marketing ironstone, porcelain, and majolica tile under the "Alfred Meakin Ltd." name, which it used through its buyout by Myott, Son & Co. Ltd. in 1976.[2] Alfred Meakin was the brother of James and George Meakin, whose J._&_G._Meakin Potteries produced many similar forms and patterns, leading to some confusion between the two.
