Bo'ness Pottery
Bo'ness played an important part in Scotland's pottery industry being one of the three major pottery producing towns in the country. Glasgow and Kirkcaldy were the other two.
The Bo'ness Pottery website is a result of years of collecting pots, photos, articles, newpaper reports, etc. and, finally, I have put everything together to give an illustrated account of the Pottery Industry of Bo'ness.
Pottery production in the town lasted for almost 200 years and it reached its heyday at the end of the 19th century when three factories were in production simultaneously at Bo'ness, Grangepans and Bridgeness. With the last pottery closing as recently as 1958, the industry is still fondly remembered by many Bo'nessians.
I hope you find the site of interest and if you have any comments or additional photos / information that you would like to share, please do not hesitate to get in touch using the E-mail link in the website.
