Morwell

The Morwell Brick Tile and Pottery Co  was established by James Henty & Co. in 1890 on a 12 acre site near the Morwell Station. The works had six kilns capable of burning 22,000 bricks at a time. 

The partnership between Joseph W  Corbett Brickmaker, Henry MacIntosh, Agent, H H Brown, Chemist, and A A Green, Draper, was dissolved in 1918.  As well as bricks and tiles they made stoneware teapots, jugs, cheese covers, crocks, water filters, barrels, spittoons, vases, jardiniers,  urns, flower pots, storage jars, bottles and demijohns.
