Lambeth Doulton factory, 1879

The Doulton Lambeth factory is one of my favourite buildings in London.

Here's an old photo of one of the other Doulton's buildings, now no longer extant.

The imposing façade of the Doulton factory building which was established by Henry Doulton in 1879, designed by Messrs Waring & Nicholson and Mr. J. Stark Wilkinson, Architects, facing the Thames.

One of the many Lambeth potteries on the riverfront, Doulton was to rise above the others and establish its reputation internationally, having its own company dock.
