Note 250 — Part II: Pottery Evidence

No trace of a kiln was found on the Bankside site in Southwark; it is probable that the waste came from another location nearby, possibly from the factory established in Gravel Lane around 1690, which continued under various managements until about 1750. It may be noted that, in the same way that much Southwark delftware has been erroneously attributed to Lambeth, it is likely that brown stonewares in the so-called style of Fulham was made in Southwark before Lambeth rose to prominence in that field.

Garner, "Lambeth Earthenware," Transactions of the English Ceramic Circle (London: 1937), vol. 1, no. 4, p. 46; also John Drinkwater, "Some Notes on English Salt-Glaze Brown Stoneware," Transactions of the English Ceramic Circle (London, 1939), vol. 2, no. 6, p. 33.
