Following the dissolution of his partnership with William Baker (see Baker & Fox), John Fox established his own mineral water manufacturing company, based at his home address of 10 Charles Street, Hanley. The following is an extract from the 1891 Census
At some point John Fox moved from Charles Street and became the Publican of the 'Railway Tavern' at 15-17 Etruria Road. He is recorded here on the 1901 census. He may well have continued to produce his mineral waters at this address. By the 1911 census, now a widower, he has moved again, living at 6 Paddock Street Hanley. His trade is now listed as a Herb Beer Manufacturer
Also from the 1911 census, John fox's second eldest son, Albert Fox can be found living at 52 Well Street Hanley, working as a Mineral Water Salesman. This may well have been sales of his father's drinks, or possibly those produced by the Premier Mineral Water Company
