From Graces Guide
James Pearson Ltd of Oldfield Pottery, Brampton, Chesterfield
1810 The Oldfield Pottery was set up; it was run by successive generations of the Oldfield family.
As a result of a dispute within the Pearson family, and a subsequent Chancery court case in 1883, James Pearson set up in competition with Theophilus Pearson carrying on the Oldfield Business as James Pearson & Co.
1930s Robinsons bought the site; their subsidiary J. J. Blow occupied the site from the 1940s until the 1980s when the site was closed down and demolished.
