Description:The Foley China Works was on King Street close to the border between Fenton and Longton and dates from 1850. The first operators were Robinson & Co, before the works were taken over by Elijah Brain & Co in 1885. Brains acquired the Coalport name in 1958 and Coalport was made at Foley Works from 1963 to 1985. The works were closed in the early 2000s and demolished by 2010. The board to the right of the entrance arch lists vacancies at the works.
