The Victoria Mill in Stanley was part of Harrison & Son, reputedly the largest ceramic glaze and colour manufacturers in the world in the 1890s. The glaze ingredients were initially ground into fritt or glass at the company's Phoenix Works in Hanley and transferred to Victoria Mill to be ground "finer than the finest white flour". https://www.cuct.org.uk/caldon/victoria-mill
