Heritage

This year, Denby celebrates 200 years of making pottery in Derbyshire.

Clay was discovered at Denby in the early 1800s and pottery has been made on this site since 1809 when the pottery was established by the Bourne family.

For two centuries Denby has made the pottery of everyday living - a tradition that continues today with tableware that meets the demands of the modern lifestyle.

In our small museum you can see examples of Denby from early salt glazed bottles and jars to the tableware of recent years.
