Herculaneum Pottery Warehouse, 3 Duke Street, Liverpool.
"In March 1807 a 21 year old lease was taken" out on the building, which was owned by John Gregson [of Gregson's Well fame] for "150 guineas per annum". The warehouse was the shopfront of the southshore potteries, that existed in Toxteth from 1796-1840.

The below
insitu illustration has not been seen before. It is an attempt to fix the location of the warehouse, as it would appear today. The warehouse site, after the potteries, was turned in to an army barracks, which is noted on the 1848 Ordnance Survey map below.
