    “AI Overview

    Arklow Pottery was established in 1934 in Arklow, County Wicklow, Ireland, and operated until its closure in 1998. It was the second pottery company to be founded in the Irish Free State. The factory produced a wide range of decorative earthenware and tableware, and at its peak employed around 480 people.
    The company was known for its innovative designs and export-driven approach, producing up to 25,000 items per week. Arklow Pottery supplied dinnerware to many top hotels and institutions across Ireland. The company developed its own unique style, with many early patterns featuring 22-carat gold finishes.
    The history of Arklow Pottery is deeply intertwined with the social landscape of Arklow and Ireland. The factory was a significant employer in the area and played a central role in the community.”

    I'm glad to see they have got rid of that 'knuckle' at the bend in the waterway. It must have been an accident waiting to happen.

    I was looking in the 1911 census for any sign of a Pottery tradition in the area prior to the business being started there in 1934, but the search did not reveal anything concrete (or ceramic for that matter). I did find some interesting occupations as follows, High Explosive Mixer, Seafaring Tailor, Cartridge Wrapping in Explosive Factory, Labourer in Cordite Works, Factory Girl Kynocks, Traveller in Tea, Seniptress, Shipowner, Electric Wire-man, Lead Miner Unemployed and Lamplighter.

"Church, Interior, Arklow, Co. Wicklow" is in Arklow, but definitely exterior

    Wouldn't be surprised if some of your best detectives could hazard a guess as to where the church, whose interior you started to describe, is located. I have no idea where the fine building shown, is located.

    There are arms on the building. Looks like two stags supporting a quartered shield with a crown and maybe a ship? Maybe a boar? The arms have a coronet, so baron or better.

    Shelton Abbey, Arklow! (I looked at Eason photos nearby in the catalogue, and they are all mislabelled, and all near Arklow. Looking in the NIAH for Arklow produced this).

    I'm busy today, but you might try here: archiseek.com/buildings/ireland-buildings/demolished/page... A lot of stuff north of the border wound up flattened.

    The Arms are of the Earls of Wicklow, and the "boar" is a lion.
