Bovey Tracey's pottery industry was established in the1750's. Josiah Wedgwood visited the Indio Pottery at Bovey in 1775 to see the competition for himself and noted:
"I went to Bovey Tracey to see a potwork . . . It is a poor trifling concern, and conducted in a wretched slovenly manner. We can carry their clay and flints from Devonshire to Staffordshire, there manufacture them into ware, and send it back to their own doors better and cheaper than they can make it!"
This book suggests that far from being a 'poor trifling concern', the several Bovey potteries played a significant role in the foundation and development of English industrial pottery.In spite of Wedgwood's comments, the industry expanded in the town with the Potteries providing employment at its height for about 250 people. By the middle of the 20th century, it was in decline. All that remains today are the bottle kilns and local pottery museum.
