J. T. Hudden established a factory at the British Anchor Works in Anchor Road, c.1874-1884. He was recorded as an 'important manufacturer.' In 1881 Hudden was 65 years old and his works employed 100 people. Hudden was made bankrupt in 1883 and around 1884 the works were taken over and became "British Anchor Pottery Co. Ltd." The British Anchor Pottery used Rawland & Marsellus Co. for exports to America.
