Mexborough history
The name Mexborough combines the Old English suffix burh, meaning a fortified place, with an Old English or Old Norse personal name, which may be Meke, Muik, Meoc or Mjukr. Mexborough is located at the north-eastern end of a dyke known as the Roman Ridge. The town’s economy was based around coal mining, quarrying, brickworks and the production of ceramics. Stan Laurel stayed in one of these public houses after performing at the town’s Prince of Wales Theatre.
Ceramics
The Rock Pottery, it is believed, traded during its early years as Beevers & Ford. In 1839, it was purchased by James Reed, who was succeeded by his son John, who changed the name of the business to Mexicanborough Pottery.
