Ancient Earthenware – The pottery works at Merewether were situated at the corner of Junction and Patrick streets. They were owned by Nathan Welham. The articles made were drain pipes, bread crocks, jars, flower pots, stone ginger beer bottles, and chimney pots. His potter was a man named Jordon. Welham s parents kept a ship in Hunter Street Newcastle, on the site of Scott s emporium, and the wares from the pottery were sold there. The clay was dug on the pottery site, but the pits have long since been filled in with drift sand. The Pottery Inn, kept by Welham was on the corner, and the works at the back. Next to the pottery was a fine Lucerne paddock owned by Mr. Birdmell and there was also a stream nearby where the residents used to gather fine watercress – Robert F. Lingard
