West View of Cast Iron Bridge... (rectangular) – Sunderland
Attributed to Garrison Pottery
The jug below, from the Sunderland Museum collection, is catalogued as Seaham. However, I am unsure on what basis. The eel pot with floral lid is similar to those produced by the Garrison Pottery, although I haven't seen this particular flower transfer before. This is the version of the bridge transfer that appears in Baker as bridge 9, with the heading 'possibly Sunderland ('Garrison') Pottery'.
- 2 rows of dashes on sail in centre detail
- 5 windows to building beyond the bridge

Galloway & Atkinson made some unusual plaques in their short-lived partnership at the Albion Pottery, c1864. In the Tyne versions of the transfer, the ship in the centre has a triangular foresail.
A rare impressed Albion Pottery bowl. Impressed with the number 12 above the initials G&A.
