Grinder and Glazed Brick manufacturer on his own, but under the same name of John Carr and Sons. Later that year, the sale took place of much of the moulds and machinery then, in
December 1893, a further fire broke out in the printing and dipping department and again the building was gutted and damage was considerable, very many pieces of ware in the final stages of preparation were lost. The remaining stock of pottery was taken over by one of the employees, Mr.M.King, and sold from a large warehouse on the premises.

In March 1844, an alarming fire was discovered to be raging in Carr & Patton's extensive pottery at North Shields and almost the entire stock and materials were lost. By 1846, Carr and Patton were listed as the owners of both North Shields Pottery and the Phoenix Pottery in

A few years later, in 1855, they announced the opening of a show room in Norfolk Street in the town, under the name of "John Carr & Son".

The manufacture of pottery had actually been discontinued since June and the end of pottery making in North
Shields was confirmed with the sale of the remaining plant and machinery in March 1894. The company did continue in the manufacture of glazed bricks and other similar items, until around 1910.[

Subsequently, the business became a partnership with John
Thompson, trading as "William Collingwood & Company". Although this firm was dissolved in February 1819, William Collingwood carried on alone. Unfortunately, he was soon declared bankrupt and by 1823 the business was owned by Nicholas Bird

In
February 1857, the business was again put up for sale, John Carr intending to retire, but on this occasion, it did not change hands. In 1861, the name changed to "John Carr & Sons" and the firm remained as such until it closed. John Carr Snr. died in November 1863 and the business now passed

In April 1884, another fire broke out in the drying house and the building was completely gutted, damage was estimated to be under £1000.00. In June 1893, John Carr Jnr.,Arnold
Ormston Carr and Joseph James Carr left the remaining brother, Robert Cornfoot Carr, to continue the business as a Flint

However, in May 1831 the business was again up for sale and by March 1832 "The North
Shields Earthenware Manufactory" was doing business under the ownership of Cornfoot, Carr & Co., advertising to the public for home consumption or exportation, their stock of best quality goods and ornamental

In August 1828, it was announced that the business was now owned by Messrs Robert
Cornfoot & John B. Colville, and had commenced business as Cornfoot, Colville & Co., advising the public that they had engaged the services of an experienced, steady and active manager from the Staffordshire

The importance of the pottery to the local economy can be shown by the numbers employed. In 1851, this was 65 men, 32 women, 26 boys and 22 girls. In 1861 this had become 50 men, 15 women and 20 boys. Ten years later, this had changed to 54 men, 28 women, 38 boys and 22 girls, and in 1881, adult

During renovation work on nearby
Cliffords Fort, whilst re-opening some embrasures which were bricked up during the 1880s, it was discovered that they had been filled with quantities of pottery waste from the Low Lights Pottery. As much of the production was for export, particularly to India and

Glasgow and Staffordshire. Fire was a constant hazard and two fires, in February 1881 and December 1882 each caused a considerable amount of damage.

A lasting example of the company's white glazed bricks can be seen on the frontage of three terraces in Whitley Bay - Percy, Warkworth and Alnwick Avenues - built in 1900 on land sold by the Northumberland Estate
