"The Clay Industries, Including the Fictile & Ceramic Arts on the Banks of the Severn" by John Randall, F.G.S., is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book delves into the rich history and industrial significance of clay, pottery, and ceramics in the Shropshire area, particularly along the River Severn. It provides insights into the early use of local clays and the evolution of pottery and porcelain production in the region. The book explores the journey of the clay industries in the Severn Valley, documenting the types and qualities of local clays, their applications, and the development of major pottery works such as Caughley, Jackfield, Coalport, and Madeley. Randall discusses the historical significance of these industries from Roman times through the Victorian era, highlighting innovations in ceramics, glazing techniques, and artistic design. Through detailed accounts of various businesses and their notable contributions, the narrative paints a comprehensive picture of the ceramic arts, the evolution of manufacturing methods, and the socio-economic impact of these industries on the local community.
