COOPERCRAFT 17cm x 20cm MODEL OF A RAM. (Cracks Underneath)
(In 1946 William Henry Bailey operated as a pottery wholesaler in the High Street, Tunstall.
Manufacturing was started in 1952 at nearby Sandyford and then at Paradise Street, Tunstall.
William H. Bailey died in 1955 and the business was continued by his wife Irene P. Bailey.
In 1958 the business was moved to larger works on Butterfield Place, Tunstall. The directors were Irene P. Cooper (neé Bailey) and Frank E. Cooper.
It is recorded that in 1968 the pottery was taken over by Mr. J. M. Sadler (son of the late Mr. John Sadler) - [A Handbook of British Pottery Manufacturers 1900-2010; Michael Perry]
The business got into financial difficulties and in September 1971 it was voluntarily wound up and the assets sold. It was able to continue as Summerbank Pottery (1970) Ltd.
From 1991 the directors are listed as being from the Savage family.
In February 2001 the business was again voluntarily wound up and continued as Summerbank Pottery (2001) Ltd.
By 2004 the business was again in financial difficulties and in April 2004 it was voluntarily wound up and remained closed)
