James Kent

 Foley China Works
'Foley" is a small district alongside King Street, Fenton - near the border with Longton.
There was a pottery at Foley as early as the eighteenth century, owned by Joseph Myatt, 
who made wares somewhat in the style of Wedgwood. 

  • c.1995 Wedgwood sold the remaining buildings of Foley China Works to James Kent Ltd who operated the adjacent Old Foley Pottery.
  • James Kent (1989) Ltd closed c.2008 and by 2010 both the Foley China Works and the Old Foley Pottery had been demolished.
