The site started out as a foundry supplying items for agricultural production. Some years after production was moved from Liverton the site acquired a new life as 'The Liverton Art Pottery'.

It was established in 1913, but ran for only about a year. Perhaps the proprietors were called for service in the first World War. The company was re-opened in 1922 by Herford Hope.
