Thanks QS, meticulous and studious research as always. I do appreciate all the maps that you managed to source for me to date so far. I hope, in return, I wasn't responsible for crashing your pc?

For all we know the pottery stock sold by auction from the Herc. site may have been laid up for some years? 1839 Gores, St Helens, they may have consolidated the stock, brought it to Liverpool and sold it there. So you could be right, activity may have ceased much earlier at the Toxteth site, in the 1830's.
Also I wonder how the exports were doing to the America in the 1830's? Although I agree - The Herculaneum Dock Bill would have sealed the factories fate at Toxteth..
