Archive - April 2008 Arklow Irish PotteryPosted Apr-27-08 06:47:43 PDT Arklow is located on the East Coast of Ireland in Co. Wicklow. It is situated on the mouth of the River Avoca and is accessible via the N11 road or the Dublin/Rosslare rail line. Arklow is 72km (45 miles) south of Dublin and is an excellent base to explore the rest of County Wicklow and neighbouring counties. It is ideally centred between Dublin and Rosslare harbour ports and is an hour and thirty-minute drive from Dublin airport.
Arklow is a lively, bustling town with its picturesque Main Street complete with ornate lighting and colourful shop fronts. Arklow is characterised by its bridge which is known as the ‘nineteen arches'. The bridge was built in 1759, it is the longest stone arched bridge in Ireland and still one of the longest in Europe. In 1934, Arklow Pottery was established and produced earthenware goods for table and decoration. For the next sixty years, was first a mainstay of local economy and then a symbol. It was as if as long as the Pottery was open, things wouldn't be too bad. It was taken over towards the end of the twentieth century by the Japanese company, Noritake. The company ran into financial difficulties and liquidators were called in in August 1998. Production ceased in April 1999.
