He worked in the modelling department with Edward Locke and the young Thomas Brock. By 1870 he became principal modeller for Royal Worcester and in 1875 decided to leave and set up his own modelling studio. He sold almost his complete output of ornamental vases and figures to Royal Worcester, often inscribing his name on the base of his master models. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn November 1895 Hadley’s contract to supply models to Royal Worcester was terminated due to a dwindling demand for elaborate luxury goods. \u003cbr\u003eIn 1900 Hadley \u0026amp; Sons became a limited company with shares held by James and his four sons, Louis, Howard, Harry and Frank, and Frank Littledale (gentlemen). In 1901 Royal Worcester tried to prevent Locke \u0026amp; Co and Hadley and Sons Ltd using the title ‘Worcester’ on their wares. The case against Locke was taken to the High Court, with the agreement that the finding would also apply to Hadley. In July 1902 the court ruled that Locke and hence Hadley ‘be perpetually restrained from selling…any goods made of china or porcelain…in connection with the word ‘Worcester’ without clearly distinguishing such goods from the goods of the plaintiffs’, Hadley agreed with Royal Worcester to use a new mark with a ribbon enclosing the words ‘Worcester, England’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn June 1905, after James Hadley’s death, Royal Worcester purchased the Hadley factory for £7,500. The factory continued to produce wares at Diglis Road using the Royal Worcester mark with the additional word ‘Hadleyware’ until March 1906. All the workforce, moulds and designs were then moved to the main site in Severn Street, Worcester.
