The Hathern Station Brick & Terra Cotta Co. was established in 1874 by George & James F. Hodson. I have only found two trade directory entries for the company & they are in Kellys 1876 & 1881 editions as the Hathern Station Brick Co. (pressed white facings) Hathern, Loughborough. Kellys 1881 edition has a half page advert for the company which lists red & white facing bricks, red & white terra cotta, pressed & moulded into 500 patterns & agricultural drain pipes. It became a Limited company in 1902 & then changed its name to Hathernware Ltd. in 1934 with them specialising in terra cotta & faience wares. The works was situated adjacent to the Midland Line Railway Station on Rempstone Road (A6006) and closed in 2004. The site is now an industrial estate.
