THE BURTON POTTERIES. 
Burton-in-Lonsdale is a little village lying on the north bank

about three miles, and Kirby Lonsdale, about six miles away.

some of the old ones having been substituted by new ones. The 
old manufacturers’ names still remembered are Cornelius Gibson, 
Wilson, Bradshaw, Burton, Baggaley, Kilburn, Batty, and Greenip.
