Melling actually has a rich history in the pottery industry, according to Melling Parish Council, which may lend its name to The Pottery.
Scottish potters arrived in the area from Glasgow in the 1870s and soon created a hub of skilled craftsman in a canalside factory. Production is understood to have ceased in 1922.
