This pattern was first registered on June 19th 1851 with the number 79300. The registered version shows a trellis border and a scene depicting a girl giving a drink to a boy. Although this design does not appear to have been used in the Byron pattern tableware it records the first use of the trellis border.  

The Byron pattern for the tableware produced in the 1930s used a different scene on each different object. The pattern most popularly known had pattern number S518 introduced in 1933. A list of these can be found in the book mentioned below. Most of these pictures were derived from illustrations in the Art Journal published between 1849 and 1865. (Another pattern called Byron Views was produced by Copeland & Garrett - this is a completely different pattern and not connected with Spode's Byron.)

In 1937 the firm of Angus Watson proprietors of Skipper Sardines offered sandwich plates as a premium gift in connection with a sales promotion. It seems they had two different promotions each one offering the same object but with a different scene. The object was a plate with a raised cross in the centre and the scenes were described as Series 1 and Series 2. There are no other items in the series. The source for the design No. 1 is not known and that for design No. 2 is the one registered in 1851. The pattern was first produced in the form of pattern S518 in about 1933.

 A blue printed version, S1688, was introduced in 1936 and withdrawn in about 1966.
