Talk:Coade stone

message: I've removed the reference to and the vpicture of the Ammonite paving. Contrary to the impression given, it's modern According to the Architectural Ceramics Society "In the 1990s the stone-carver Philip Thomason of the Somerset firm Thomason Cudworth revived the manufacture of a Coade-type stone..... An ammonite public footpath in neo-Coade stone made by Thomason Cudworth was laid at the Lyme Regis Philpot Museum, Bridge Street around 2000".Ruskinmonkey (talk) 08:44, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

message: This article, as well as that on Eleanor Coade, contains some contradictory information that leaves the question unresolved: who should get credit for the actual development of the products sold as "Coade Stone"?  In the lede, this article states "Lithodipyra was first created around 1770 by Eleanor Coade..." but the way that's parsed doesn't mean that the product was created by her, only that a product with the particular name of "Lithodipyra" was created by her.  The article continues "Mrs Coade bought Daniel Pincot’s struggling artificial stone business...This business developed into Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory with Eleanor in charge", again muddying the waters by suggesting that the products were Pincot's creation, with Coade just "in charge" as proprietress.  Furthermore, "Mrs Coade did not invent 'artificial stone' - various inferior quality precursors having been both patented and manufactured over the previous forty (or sixty) years - but she was probably responsible for perfecting both the clay recipe and the firing process" introduces the weasel word "responsible for".  Pincot was still employed by the firm, so it's more likely that he -- with the experience in ceramic work -- would've done the "perfecting", under her direction (and investment).  The bio page on her describes her as being a linen-draper as late as the "mid-1760s".  It is unlikely that she had any training or experience in sophisticated ceramic formulation or molding by the time she purchased Pincot's business in 1769.  Unless anyone has information to the contrary, I'm going to disambiguate the matter by tweaking the text a bit. Bricology (talk) 20:37, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

message: ((See Lurgan section)
IRA bomb damage on Lurgan High street.
This building may have been 'over repaired' after the bomb. ...and may now be over-hyped.
Is it? or was it ever Coade stone? Chienlit (talk) 16:27, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Queen Victoria ??? in Coade stone?? Lurgan provenance and integrity? 

message: The Lion Gate at Audley End House near Saffron Walden has a very fine Coade Stone lion with two sculpted urns flanking it on either side. It was the original entrance to the palatial house that preceded the mid-Victorian buildings of today which are under the care of English Heritage. 2A00:23C8:1695:A01:D4D9:BC27:4557:1E80 (talk) 17:13, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
