round it, and in the centre a loaded pack-horse in dark blue with 
a W on the blinker, the W standing for Wedgwood, when Ralph 
Wedgwood was a member of the firm. This was kindly presented 
to us by Mr. J. R. Triffitt. 
I possess a fine large jug, white, with green lines, a face or mask 
for a spout, on one side a very clear cut bust of Lord Byron ! and 
on the other a nude lady mounted bareback upon a horse, about 
to drive a spear into a lion which has its claws fastened in the 
horse’s neck ; also some fine rich blue plates with the “ willow 
pattern ” upon them, formerly belonging to old Mark Lightowler, 
who kept the toll bar between Pontefract and Carleton, when I 
was a boy. 
The marks used at Ferrybridge were 
TOMLINSON & CO. impressed on the bottom of the ware. 
WEDGWOOD & CO. during the time of Ralph Wedgwood's 
connection with the works, also impressed. 
FERRYBRIDGE, impressed, and one variety of which mark 
is peculiar from having the letter D reversed thus G 
FERRYBRIdGE, 
a shield with the words opaque granite China in three lines 
supported by a lion and unicorn, and surmounted by a crown, 
impressed in the ware. 
Later—the lion and unicorn with the shield and crown, and the 
words, “ Ferrybridge and Australian Potteries,” sometimes im¬ 
pressed and at others printed on the goods, with the names of the 
bodies, as “ granite,” “ stone-china,” etc., added. 
As before mentioned up to the year 1804, the manufactory was 
known as the Knottingley Pottery, and a special brown ware was 
made there. 
The punch bowls, made for the cock-pits, with fighting cocks 
and foliage upon them, done in “ sgraffito,” scratched ware, 
specimens of which are in our Collection and in the Pontefract 
Museum, were made at the Knottingley Pottery. 
A man named Masterman used to have a small kiln in “ The 
Holes,” Knottingley, where he made small pot figures as mantel¬ 
piece ornaments, toys, etc., and sold them on a stall in Pontefract 
market every Saturday, when I was a boy. 
We have a very crude but very interesting figure of Little Red 
Riding Hood with the wolf in our Collection, made here by 
Masterman.
