ROYAL ADDERLEY:
Adderleys was an important supplier of mid-range tableware in the 1920s and 30s. 
In 1947 Adderleys Ltd was acquired by Lawleys Ltd and became the base for Edgar Lawley's 'Adderley Group' of companies servicing his chain of retail shops. 
In October 1952 the operations of Adderleys Ltd and Ridgways (Bedford Works) Ltd - both Lawley owned - were combined as Ridgway & Adderley Ltd.  In 1955 the Adderley business became part of Ridgway Potteries Ltd.
The 'Adderley' and 'Royal Adderley' names were continued as fine china brands by Ridgway Potteries Ltd until 1964 and then by its successors Allied English Potteries Ltd (1964-71) and Royal Doulton Tableware Ltd (1972 onward). The Adderley name was discontinued by Doulton in the mid-1970s.
