HISTORY OF WOOD & SONS

In 1865 Absolom wood (a descendant of Moses) became the founder and senior partner in Wood Son & Co. It is believed that the reason he commenced business at this particular time was because in 1865 the American Civil War ended, and the intention was to cater to the American market.

The firm of Wood & Sons Ltd. was ultimately established, probably in 1910, Thomas Wood being the principal proprietor of the firm.

The Stanley Pottery was purchased by Woods in 1931, and it was made up of two factories, namely Stanley Pottery and Crown Pottery. The company flourished from 1950-1979 when it finally floundered amidst a deep recession and was sold out and today operates under another company name.
