Bovey Tracey: Pottery Pond
The pond was originally fed by a long leat from the Becka Brook up on Dartmoor, several miles away. In turn the pond powered machinery at Higher Mill, and probably Lower Mill too. These mills were part of the Bovey Pottery, which was expanded under the management of Mr Divett in the 1850s

Wemyss Ware at Bovey Pottery, Devon
A surprise for Scottish visitors like ourselves to see something from so close to home (Wemyss ware is made in Ceres, Fife Image but no picture of the pottery or shop yet) in Devon. It turns out that the Bovey Pottery in 1930 brought the head Wemyss artist, Joseph Nekola, from Scotland to produce Wemyss Ware in Devon.

Marble Machine, at House of Marbles
This machine, built in 1982 in the USA, is the largest of its type in its day. It has travelled over 10,000 miles and made 15 million marbles! A good insight into just how industrial toy manufacture can be.

Wall at Bovey Pottery
This detail of the wall gives an idea of the variety of its constituent pieces. Presumably any spare pieces from the pottery were used in construction.
