English Heritage 100019088. 2008Rocque’s map of 1746 shows a Pot House onthe north side of the line of Glasshouse Walk.This was probably the Delftware potteryfounded by Jan Ariens van Hamme in c1676,although it may originally have operated atCopt Hall and moved to the east of the mainroad after 1727. The factory experimentedwith the manufacture of porcelain in the1750s and 1760s. It continued in thelate 18th century making stoneware andoperated until 1846 when the site was soldto build the railway viaduct. The site of thepottery has largely been obliterated by theconstruction of the railway viaduct on its eastside and Albert Embankment on its west side.Figure TA2.8 OS 1874(Source: English Heritage HAA report)

Further southwest,Henry Hodgson’s pottery was foundedin 1732 on the site of a starch yard betweenBack Lane and Fore Street. The factorymade both salt-glazed ware and Delftware. Itcontinued as Griffith and Morgan in 1774-1797, later passing to James Stiff and Sons.During the first half of the 19th centuryStiff’s premises expanded from High Streetacross Fore Street to the waterfront. It wassold in 1855 and was absorbed by Doultons.In 1786 there were five potteries makingDelftware in Lambeth parish, one forstoneware and one for redware.A glasshouse for the manufacture of plateglass was established in Vauxhall in the17th century on Kennington manor land.Production ceased in 1780 and the premiseswere replaced by the houses of VauxhallSquare. Much of the glasshouse site wasdestroyed by the construction of the railwayviaduct in the 19th century. The eastern partwas occupied by the flats of the GuinnessTrust Dwellings in the 20th century.Another glasshouse was founded by JohnBellingham on the Vauxhall waterfront to thesouth of Vauxhall Stairs by 1681.Early industries at Nine Elms included abrewhouse by 1645, a wood-yard by 1686and a lime kiln on the river embankment by1688. There was a copper works by 1724.In the 19th century Thorne’s Brewery (laterMeux’s) occupied much land.The Vauxhall waterfront became a centreof industry from the 17th century onwards,the river providing the principal means oftransport for raw materials and finishedproducts. Industries included candle andsoap manufacture, starch-making, sugarbaking,distilling, vinegar making andbrewing. Gerard Weymans built mills forcutting and polishing marble to the south ofVauxhall Stairs at Marble Hall Lane in c1675.In the early 19th century vinegar and picklemaking were established between VauxhallStairs and Vauxhall Bridge. Burnett’s vinegarfactory eventually expanded to cover most ofthis area.The Vauxhall waterfront developed furtheralong the Thames shore in the 17th century,spreading northwards from the manor housesite. In 1629 Charles I purchased Copt Hallto use as the site of a foundry for makingordnance. Guns, carbines and muskets weremade and stored on part of the site, whichwas known as the Gun House. The buildingslater became a distillery and were demolishedin the early 19th century. There was access tothe river by Gunhouse Stairs to the north ofthis property, and Vauxhall Stairs to its south.Several industries were established inLambeth. From the 17th century onwardstimber yards and boat-builders’ yards linedthe waterfront; soap and candles weremade from the 18th century onwards. Theimportation of Baltic timber was a sourceof great wealth to the parish in the 18thcentury. In the 18th century there weretwo malt distilleries and three starch yards.By the early 19th century there were alsoiron foundries and steam engine factories,saltpetre, whiting and varnish factories.(Source: English Heritage HAA report)Old Chelsea Bridge, c.1915 (source: Loobey 2002)
