Cyril Charlton, Hengoed Pottery, Oswestry
It is a common misconception that the pottery was in Hengoed in Wales, but the Hengoed Pottery was actually based in Shropshire - specifically at Upper Hengoed, just North of Oswestry. The pottery was owned by a chap called Cyril Charlton and his wife (I can't remember her name). My family owned a pub from 1981 - 2007 called The Last Inn and the pottery was about 1/4 of a mile away. Cyril was a chap with a big moustache - he looked rather like Jimmy Edwards;he'd previously worked for Monsanto Chemicals. Cyril and his wife, both died about 20 years ago. The pottery (& kiln) was actually an annex to the bungalow in which they lived. I know the current owner very well and when he bought the place, he 'inherited' the kiln and many pieces of Hengoed pottery - I've a couple of pieces myself.

Hengoed pottery
Hi. I saw a post about the Hengoed pottery. I was interested as Cyril Charlton was my father and Peggy Charlton was my mum. I am also a Potter living and working in Berkshire.
Did you know them well, it's a long time ago now!
