CAMBRIAN POTTERY.

The Glamorgan Pottery, already alluded to, was situated to the west of the “Cambrian Pottery,” on the opposite side of the road leading to the North Dock Bridge. In extent it was about two-thirds of the Cambrian, and produced similar wares. It was discontinued some years ago, the kilns taken down, and part of the building converted into iron warehouses. It was, I am informed by Mr. Holland, built about the year 1816, by a Mr. Baker, who was soon after joined in partnership by Mr. Bevan and Mr. Herwain, and the business carried on under the style of “Baker, Bevan, & Herwain,” until 1839, when it seems to have been purchased by Mr. Dillwyn, who, in the following year, as I have shown, offered it to Messrs. Brameld, of the Rockingham China Works, for the purpose of carrying on the porcelain manufacture there. Mr. Baker also, at one time, held another small pottery for a finer kind of earthenware, near the river Tawe, in another part of Swansea.
