Isaac Wilkinson's career as 'potfounder' at Backbarrow, Cumbria, from 1735 to 1748 is re-examined from primary documentary euidence. Considerable evidence survives on his relationship to the Backbarrow Company and on his ironfounding actioities; the latter includes the introduction of blowing cylinders into Backbarrow Forge over the period 1737-9.
