Larne.
Larne Pottery.—Pottery works were, I am informed by Mr. Patterson, built close to the small sea-port of Larne, county of Antrim, by James Agnew, Esq., the proprietor of the estate, and were worked under the management of his agent, Mr. Walker, from about 1850 to 1855, and afterwards for two or three years by the Greenock Pottery Company, since which time the works have been closed. The buildings still remain, but lie vacant. The goods produced were white and printed earthenware, cane ware, Rockingham tea-pots, and brown pans, crocks, and dairy and kitchen utensils of various kinds. Some of the latter named were made from local clays, and were very good of their kind. Their rubbish heaps are on the borders of Larne Lough, and the beach is strewed with fragments of pottery, the little triangular supports, saggars, &c.
