Shaws of Darwen

Advertising the product with lots of glazed faience on the 1927 office building at the Waterside Works of Shaws of Darwen. This architectural terracotta business was established in 1897 and in 2009 was split into two parts, one manufacturing architectural terracotta and the other making belfast sinks and other such ware. The terracotta business has since failed, leading to the establishment by the former employees of Darwen Terracotta Ltd which is based in Blackburn. Sink manufacture by Shaws continues at Waterside.
