Wedgwood landmark to go under hammer

The Auction department of national commercial property consultancy Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH), acting on behalf of the liquidators of The Josiah Wedgwood Group, has been instructed to put the once well known Tuscan Pottery Works in Stoke-on-Trent to auction. The auction takes place on 12 October in London.

The Forrister Street property dates from around 1900 and is made up of a collection of buildings, original and more modern, set within a seven acre site with two prominent road frontages.

Simon Riggall, Auctioneer at LSH, said: “The property sits within a residential area close to the centre of Longton. I anticipate the property will attract a lot of interest due to its history, but also because it offers substantial development opportunity within an established residential area.”

This instruction follows on from LSH previously disposing of other properties owned by the Wedgwood Group.
