T.G Greens Pottery, Swadlincote. 04/09

Top marks to Fezzyben for suggesting this place, well after rejecting my previous idea of having a look at the shooting range on Burton meadow due to it being and I quote "a bit gay"

There is exellent history on the man behind it all here.....

I thought that when I went. Especially as there's some finsihed products there that could easily have been sold.

Great stuff guys..it`s a great place to visit

great pics guys but why would the shooting range have been a bit "Gay" is he not telling you something?

this place is a great explore and i will be defintaley going back shortly for another look around. looking through all these pics and various reports there seems to be so much that you miss that other people capture with a lens.
