I am researching the Watts family who lived in Whitecliff and operated a Pottery from early 1800 to 1880. Two generations of family were involved - John Watts and his son, also John Watts. The younger John Watts had a large family, one of his daughters, Lucy, is my great grandmother, who married Enoch Drew and emigrated to Australia in 1884. (Lucy first married William White who died around 1882). I am looking for information on the Pottery, which was quite a large concern, at one stage employing 16 men and some boys. The Pottery was situated quite close to the Nags Head Inn. I would be grateful for any snippets of information regarding the family and the Pottery.
