This photo from the Daily Echo in May 1957 shows firefighters who took over two hours to control the fire at Kinson Pottery. Flying embers blown by the wind caused two minor outbreaks in houses in Ringwood Road. The Kinson Clayfields and Fired Pottery Company was established in 1854 the fire saw the eventual demise of the company and now the Kinson Pottery Industrial Estate stands on the site on Ringwood Road, Poole.
