Hartley’s Pottery [Castleford] Ltd - Hartrox Stoneware

based at Phillips Pottery, Castleford, Yorkshire, from 1898 to 1960, making utilitarian stonewares and earthenwares. The base was marked in the centre with a transfer printed logo, which read ‘HARTROX STONEWARE CASTLEFORD’. ‘Hartrox’ was the trade name on decorative wares from 1953 to June 1960.

Hartley Greens and Company [Leeds] - Pottery

Leeds Pottery was originally founded in Hunslet, a village just outside Leeds, in around 1770. In its early years it was owned by members of two families, both called Green, who were then joined by a Lancashire businessman called William HARTLEY, giving the company the name under which it became famous - Hartley Greens & Co. Rapid expansion followed and by 1790 the Pottery employed 150 people and its products were exported throughout Europe and as far afield as Russia and America.

Creamware: Hartley Greens & Co produced several kinds of pottery but was particularly famous for its Creamware. This was a new type of earthenware made from white Cornish clay combined with a translucent glaze to produce its characteristic pale cream colour. Creamware was perfect for making the elegant and highly decorative tableware in demand in the Georgian age. Although it was also made by many other companies, the commercial success and outstanding quality of the Leeds product meant that in time all Creamware came to be popularly known as "Leedsware".

HARTLEY Potato Chips [Crisps] , USA  Hartley's Potato Chips have been making kettle cooked potato chips since 1935, when J. Irvin and Gertrude Hartley began production in their home with their 6 children. The chips are still being made today from that same location, on the Back Maitland road, 3 miles outside of Lewistown, PA. Today, the 25,000 square foot facility allows production to accommodate distribution throughout Mifflin Co., State College, Altoona, Williamsport, Harrisburg, and parts of New York.

HARTLEY [ Food Manufacturer, UK ] 
Sir William Pickles Hartley founded the "Hartley's Jam" empire.
The Hartley family had lived around the Trawden area at the foot of the Pendle Hills probably since the 16thC. They began as fairly modest local grocers in the district.
William was born in 1846 and left school at the age of fourteen, working at his mother's grocery shop. He started in business for himself in Colne at the age of sixteen. As the business grew William moved into the wholesale trade, and a chance event in 1871 started the Hartley business rolling, as, so it is said, a supplier failed to deliver a batch of jam and William was forced to make his own. His jam, marmalade and jelly sold so well that he continued to make it.

Hartley began to develop his business by producing his own fruit and packaging it in his own distinctive earthenware 'Melling' pots.

In 1874 the business was transferred to Bootle, Liverpool.

In 1884 the jam-making business was incorporated as William Hartley & Sons Limited.

In 1886 Hartley moved the business to Aintree in Liverpool, where he built 'Hartley Garden Village' to the right of the Factory for his workers.

The factory was self-contained and included Coopers, Joiners and Boxmakers. Millions of the famous earthenware 'Hartley Jam Jars' were made at Melling and St. Helens. The factory had its own railway sidings with two locomotives. In the busy season there were six trains per day handling two hundred waggons.. William chartered ships and had his own bonded warehouses. Two thousand boxes were made in a day, the timber imported from Norway.

Today the Aintree Factory is a scrapyard

Throughout his life, William donated money for religious or philanthropic causes in Colne, Liverpool and in London. Many buildings in Colne, built in 1911 still stand today and are known locally as Hartley Homes.

In 1900 Hartley opened a jam factory in Bermondsey, south-east London and employed over 2,000 people.

Hartley Jam Factory, Bermondsey, today; it has now been converted to apartments.

By 1908 he had been knighted by King Edward VII for his many charitable acts and funding to Sunday Schools and for the establishment of hospitals.

The Hartley Institute: University of Southampton. Highfield, Southampton, UK

The University of Southampton established the Hartley Institute in 1993 to promote, facilitate and encourage research associated with the University Library's extensive holdings, both in its general stock and particularly of manuscripts, official publications, the Parkes collections (on the relations of the Jewish people with others) and regional collections; and to disseminate knowledge by conferences, seminars, public lectures, publications and exhibitions. The Institute aims to provide a framework for collection-based work in the humanities broadly defined; to bring visiting researchers more immediately into contact with the host academic community; and to work closely with academic developments on the arts side of the University.
The University of Southampton has its origins in the Hartley Institution, founded in 1862 from the bequest of a local wine merchant, Henry Robinson Hartley [1777-1850] [see Hartley Hall of Fame G-L]
Southampton received its royal charter in 1952 and now has over 17,000 students, of whom more than 3,000 are post-graduates. There are currently seven faculties: Arts; Engineering and Applied Science; Law; Mathematical Studies; Medicine, Health and Biological Sciences; Science; and Social Sciences. The main campus of the University, which includes the Hartley Library, lies adjacent to Southampton Common, a large (and ancient) area of woodland and open space, some three miles from the centre of the city. In addition to the usual amenities, there is a theatre, a purpose-built concert hall and an art gallery. The University's activities are spread over several locations in Southampton and beyond, including the Southampton Oceanography Centre and Winchester School of Art. Southampton is about one hour from London by train.
The University Library and its research collections: the Library was established in 1862. The collections now number more than 1,500,000 books and periodicals, with some 6,500 current titles. The major research collections include strengths in the humanities, in official publications and there are important holdings of nineteenth- and twentieth-century political, diplomatic, official and military manuscripts, together with probably the largest collection of archive material in Western Europe relating to the Jewish people. More information is available on this website.

HARTLEY Morris Men, West Kent , UK   

Hartley Morris Men are the oldest Morris side dancing in the West Kent area; they are also one of the oldest groups in the country, with roots going back to the Stansted Morris dancers of 1934 - 39. They perform the ancient and traditional Morris dances of the Cotswold style. Most of the team’s 30 members don their white suits, straw hats, clashing sticks, bells and handkerchiefs for rehearsals at St George’s Hall, Wrotham, each week, followed by a quick jig to the ale pumps at a local pub.

HARTLEY Platinum Mine, Rhodesia
Located about 80km south west of Harare, Hartley was brought into production in 1997 at a cost of some $289 million by a joint venture between the Australian companies BHP (67%) and Delta Gold NL (33%). In 1998, Delta spun off its holding into Zimbabwe Platinum Mines Ltd (Zimplats), and in mid-1999, BHP sold its holding to Zimplats. The mine, which employed around 3,100 people, was immediately mothballed.

HARTLEY Platinum Mine, South Africa When development of the Hartley Platinum Mine commenced in 1995, it was expected that full production would be achieved in the fourth quarter of calendar 1997. Full production was not achieved and mining operations were suspended on the 2nd June 1998, and the mine placed on care and maintenance.

HARTLEY Village, Kent, England

The Village of Hartley in Kent lies on the northern side of the North Downs between Sevenoaks and Dartford/Gravesend. The northern boundary is the main railway line to London and stretches some 2 miles southwards towards New Ash Green and at its widest is some 1.5 miles. Home to some 6000 people it is a mixed community and retains its rural roots. As a village it has limited street lighting and lacks many of the amenities of a town, it does though contain two beautiful historic churches one of which originates from the Norman times and the other one of the only thatched churches in Kent.

there's even a comet up there in the night sky named ... COMET 103P/HARTLEY2   
Malcolm Hartley discovered this comet on plates exposed on 1988 February 19 and 22 with the U.K. Schmidt Telescope Unit at Siding Spring. He estimated the total magnitude as 16.5 on the 19th. He added that the plate exposed on the 22nd revealed a tail extending 10 arcmin towards the northwest. http://cometography.com/pcomets/110p.html

NASA has approved the retargeting of the EPOXI mission for a flyby of comet Hartley 2 on Oct. 11, 2010. Hartley2 was chosen as EPOXI's destination after the initial target, comet Boethin, could not be found. Scientists theorize comet Boethin may have broken up into pieces too small for detection. The EPOXI mission melds two compelling science investigations -- the Extrasolar Planet Observation and Characterization and the Deep Impact Extended Investigation. Both investigations will be performed using the Deep Impact spacecraft. In addition to investigating comet Hartley2, the spacecraft will point the larger of its two telescopes at nearby exosolar planetary systems in late January 2008 to observe several previously discovered planetary systems outside our solar system. It will study the physical properties of giant planets and search for rings, moons and planets as small as three Earth masses. It also will look at Earth as though it were an exosolar planet to provide data that could become the standard for characterizing these types of planets. "The search for exosolar planetary systems is one of the most intriguing explorations of our time," said Drake Deming, EPOXI deputy principal investigator at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. "With EPOXI we have the potential to discover new worlds and even analyze the light they emit to perhaps discover what atmospheres they possess." The mission's closest approach to the small half-mile-wide comet will be about 620 miles. The spacecraft will employ the same suite of two science instruments the Deep Impact spacecraft used during its prime mission to guide an impactor into comet Tempel 1 in July 2005. If EPOXI's observations of Hartley 2 show it is similar to one of the other comets that have been observed, this new class of comets will be defined for the first time. If the comet displays different characteristics, it would deepen the mystery of cometary diversity.

September 2010: [photo:Patrick Duis, Netherlands] Comet 103P/Hartley2 is still very faint. I could not see it visible, so I decided to try it photographically. This is a combination of 4 20min exposures at ISO800. The green-blueish colour that is very common to Comets is clearly visible. Over the coming months it will become more bright.
