Formerly Showells Brewery erected in Copeland Street in 1864, which produced Croswell's Ale. In the 1960s before the substantial building was demolished to make way for the D Road (A500) it was a builders merchants, W & HS Emery.
The Carlton Ware Pottery is opposite and though this closed in 1989, the building survives. The Red Lion public house, a short distance away, advertised Showell's beers in faience tiles on its facade, possibly made at the nearby Minton Hollins tile works. This fine building was carefully demolished by the Tramway Society and rebuilt at Crick. Alas, Stoke lost so much because of the new motorway.
