Richards Tiles Ltd., Longport & Tunstall, Staffordshire

The Henry Richards Tile Co came into existence in 1903 when W & E Corn changed their trading name and rapidly became a major manufacturer of Art Nouveau tiles. The business continued to flourish during the 1920s and 1930s making a wide range of wall, floor and fireplace tiles. The business continued after World War II and acquired T & R Boote Ltd in 1963. Eventually the business amalgamated with H & R Johnson in 1968 to form H & R Johnson-Richards Tiles Ltd. The name finally disappeared in about 1972.
