Ridgway Potteries came out of a period of reorganisation of Lawley Group pottery companies.  It included 

Ridgway, Adderley, Booths & Colcloughs brands and would acquire Globe, Adderleys, North Staffordshire Pottery, Portland, Royal Crown Derby, and T C wild to form Allied English Potteries until the merger with Royal Doulton in 1972. 

Ridgway continued to produce with marks under its own name until at least 1978. The 'Ridgway Earthenware' trade name was used by Doulton until at least 1982.
