THE MALING POTTERY
Established 1762 closed 1963
My workshop is housed in the former Maling s Ford B Pottery in
Byker, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Dating from 1878 the buildings are in the
process of being listed. Little has changed on the site since the days
of Maling Pottery. The kilns have gone, so have the rail lines, fortunately
the majority of the original buildings still survive. Today the site is
occupied by a variety of small businesses and is still owned my the Hoult
family who purchased the site from the Malings in1947 and continued to run
the pottery untill it closed in 1963 . If you would like to find out more
about the history of Maling Pottery and its products take a look a the Maling
Collectors Society web site.
