Visited this last year with man gone wrong and priority 7 and his son.we were in the area so gave it a little look.this was a re visit for me but I do like this place.the place had suffered a bit more since my last trip..the pottery was one of many around stoke which sadly has lost its industry and now only a few small ones survive,established in 1891 by J.H Weatherby it originally started making earthernware then later fine porcelain.the firm expanded rapidly in 1906.the firm continued too grow employing over 2000 people.the firm closed in 200o and at the time of closure employed only 10 people.
