ALFRED MEAKIN (1875-1976):
Meakin was an English pottery manufacturing company. Alfred Meakin Ltd was set up in 1875 and operated in Tunstall England. Alfred Meakin was the brother of Jame and George Meakin who ran a large pottery company in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. Alfred Meakin died in 1904 and was succeeded by his son James who died only four years later.  Alfred John's uncle Robert Johnson bought the company for his son Stuart Johnson and it stayed in the Johnson family until 1976 when it became Myott-Meakin before becoming part of the Churchill Group. Myott-Meakin revived the use of the Alfred Meakin backstamp for bone china in 1985 but this range (some of which was manufactured in China) was discontinued late 1989/early 1990 to concentrate on earthenware production.  In 2000 production under the Meakin name ceased.
