Welcome to Bo'ness Pottery.  This website is a result of
years of collecting pots, photos, articles, newpaper reports,
etc.  I have finally put everything together to give this account
of the Pottery Industry of Borrowstounness. Boness Pottery

Pottery production in the town lasted for almost 200 years
and it reached its heyday at the end of the 19th century
when three factories were in production simultaneously at Bo'ness, Grangepans and Bridgeness.  With the last
pottery closing as recently as 1958 the industry is still
fondly remembered by many Bo'nessians.

The various potteries can be accessed using the links above.
