Some history of Crown Chelsea China:
The works were built in 1892 on the site of the Millfield Gate Brick Field.
By 1900 the partners were Arthur John Morris, William Lockett, Charles Frederick Goodfellow, Harry Warrilow, George Warrilow.
On 15th November 1900 the partnership was dissolved and the business continued, under the same style of "Thomas Morris" by Harry Davies, Samuel Morris and Arthur John Morris. Harry Davies was married to Annie Morris, the daughter of Thomas Morris.
Following the partnership arrangement in 1900, it is believed that Annie Davies (née Morris) gave control of the factory to her husband Harry when the rest of her siblings were bought out in 1904 (see below).
From around 1912 the company used the trade name 'Crown Chelsea China' and specialised in high quality, hand painted and gilded china.
