The second kiln, Number Eight, was firing just four months later, and at the end of June ‘58, the factory came into large scale production.
On 23 August 1957 the 'Alsager Times' reported : Good progress had been made with the new Vitreous China factory at Alsager. "We notice that Twyfords' new factory at Alsager is rapidly taking shape and that roofs are now on some of the buildings. It certainly looks a very handsome factory and far from detracting from the appearance of the district, we might say that it provides quite a smart new approach to the village from the North Staffordshire end."
