In 1853 the lease of the Daisy Bank Pottery was sold to Messrs. Hulse Nixon and Adderley. The freehold of the premises was afterwards purchased from John Edward Heathcote Esq. by Hulse Nixon and Adderley. In 1869 Mr. Nixon died and the firm was changed to Hulse and Adderley and so continued until 1874 when Mr. Hulse having died in the preceding year, it was altered to that of William A. Adderley who was the surviving partner and then the sole proprietor of the place. The productions were china and earthenware for the home. The markets were Canada, West India, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and the operations were conducted on a large scale. Adderley’s usual trademark was a ship in full sail.
