The Prince’s Regeneration Trust acquires Burleigh’s Middleport Pottery
Burleigh, the 150 year old pottery company that was acquired in 2010 by Denby (the homewares group owned by Hilco UK’s private equity arm, Valco Capital Partners), has completed the sale of its historic premises to The Prince’s Regeneration Trust.
The Trust, one of HRH The Prince of Wales’ charities, will work with Burleigh, English Heritage and the UK Historic Building Preservation Trust to renovate Burleigh’s Middleport Pottery, the last working Victorian pottery in the UK. Original features will be restored and excess space will be converted into a world class visitor centre. The site will continue to produce the company’s famous Burleighware.
