Carrigaline pottery (also known as Carrigdhoun Pottery and Carrig Ware) was founded by Hoddie (Hodder) Roberts in 1928. He realised that that local clay, long used to make fire bricks, could also be used to make pottery. He visited Stoke-on-Trent, UK and sought the advice of Louis Keeling. The new company Carrigaline Pottery Company Limited expanded employing some 210 people at its peak. The company was wound up in 1980 and subsequently taken over by a German enterprise and became known as Cork Art Pottery Limited which was wound up later. In 1989 the pottery became known as Carrigaline Pottery Ireland Limited and in 1995 Stephen Pearce (sometimes misspelled Stephen Pierce) became highly involved in the business. However it closed sometime around 2002. The once extensive site was demolished in 2004, except for some units which house independent non-pottery industries.

What is the history of Ireland?

Ireland has thousands of years of history so it would be impossible to answer your question. There have been people living in Ireland for at least 8000 years. Ireland's history is long and complex. There are the viking elements, the elements associated with Ireland's relationship with Britain, elements associated with the early times of Christianity in Ireland and its spreading in Ireland and how Irish missionaries spread Christianity to other parts of the world.
