CARRIGALINE POTTERY HISTORY
Carrigaline for many decades was known for a Pottery and a Pipe Band.
The pottery was an unique Industry started by Hoddie (Hodder) Roberts
in 1928. He was convinced that local clay that was being used to make
fire bricks could also be used to make pottery. He went over to Stoke on
Trent to get expert advice, met Louis Keeling and so it began small at
first but gradually employing over 200 people until it‘s closure some
years ago. It also revived Carrigaline's position as a port, with
vessels such as the Kathleen and May bring clay for the pottery. It also
scored entertainment wise with victory in what was then the television
show “tops of the town”in 1978.

Carrigaline Pottery was the main source of employment in
Carrigaline for half a century. Part of the premises is now to be part
of a large shopping center and a new Town Square.
