My 4th G-Grandfather Thomas Holland lived in Red Valley Limestone County which is now in Blount County !
Long time ago I remember Sprott, al as having a rustic pottery company there. We got big pitchers, cups, cream and sugar thingy. I wonder if they are still in business.
My grandfather Guy Edwards and his father Jimmy Edwards were from Perry County.
Omg. I’ve been there!
Been a lifetime ,,had fresh double yolk eggs,jarred everything you can think of…man I hope this place is still there…
It’s still standing and Sprot became know due to this photograph in the book

I shopped in the Sprott Store many a time, and remember when it was once also used as a Post Office. Except for part of the false front, it looked much like as it is shown. I have not been down that way for a while but last time I was there, it was still standing.
Been to the Sprott Store many a time. Really something to think of how old it really is. I recall when it was also used as post office.
I use too deer hunt in sprott .
