Much has been discovered since 1997 and it now appears that the title of the article was in error in so far as most of the marks described actually belong to Job Ridgway & Sons.

The Toll Bridge. The large meat dish is 368mm long and 282mm wide. Earthenware.
It clearly is a toll bridge as there is a large fence with a gate in it on the right hand end of the bridge exactly in the line of sight of the viewer so it appears as a thin vertical line, but you can see the baulks of timber holding it upright, and the gate is open. There is heavy fencing round the left hand end to prevent people climbing round. If anyone knows what bridge this is I would be grateful for the information.

Farm gate. The leaf pickle dish is 144mm long, 125mm wide, and 38mm tall. Earthenware.
This is not the view on a similar pickle dish illustrated in A. W. Coysh & R. K. Henrywood, The Dictionary of Blue and White Printed Pottery 1780-1880 2 (1989), p.35.
It is good to see provenance labels even though they become meaningless out of context. Someone loved this piece enough to record the family member from whom it descended.

The Windmill. The soup plate is 251mm in diameter. Earthenware.
The "7" is probably a tally mark.
The backstamp is almost identical with the "Japan Opaque China" backstamp.
Lone Fisherman. The 6 inch muffin is 159mm in diameter. Earthenware.

Riverside Cottages. The dessert plate is 207mm in diameter. Earthenware.
Riverside Cottages. The dessert plate is 208mm in diameter. Earthenware.
An alternative version without the blue edge line.
The base of this plate is heavily potted, and so thick that the seller thought it was a tureen stand.
The tally mark, a "2", is in a very odd place, right on the extreme edge of the plate.
