'The St Marychurch Pottery of Torquay was set up 1962 by brothers Cyril and Roy Wilson together with some help from their father Reg Wilson a decorator, all were experienced and long serving potters at the Watcombe Pottery prior to it closing. Another brother Laurence Wilson acted as their agent. Initially while trying to get established they worked from a variety of premises like a small garage in Havelock Road, St Marychurch where they used a number of outworkers for decorating. Then they moved to a larger place at 101 Fore Street, St Marychurch where another Director George Moss joined them. As production of traditional Torquay motto wares increased they enlarged their working space and installing larger kilns as well as taking on more staff like Arthur Cole, George Hall and Frank Raybould.'
