George Baguley is listed at High Street, Hanley, in directories between 1850 and 1854. The firm then became Lockett, Baguley & Cooper listed at the Victoria Works, Broad Street, Shelton, Hanley, between 1856 and 1861. It then reverted to George Baguley, listed at the Broad Street address between 1862 and 1867.
