Manufacturer / Hersteller

Moira pottery was started in 1922, originally making stoneware jam jars. The company, also known as Hillstonia, made special pottery ware for bulbs and plants. The plant was controversially closed and demolished in 1972 because the land it stood on was a coal reserve; the coal was all extracted and then the land was reclaimed and is part of the National forest.
