ok this is my first post and im guessing i put too many photos on here but i found it really hard to pick. i visted with diehardlove and adamlc thanks for a good day guys despite the tooth issues and camera fail.
i have tried to show you what i found interesting in this place and pick shots that have not been seen as much. theres plenty of history to be found on the site on other posts.

there was so much stuff lying around this site it was unbelievable. so i have selected shots of the stuff as that was the main point of interest for me. the offices were still full of huge amounts of paperwork and there was a store room full of all the stickers used on the pots.

any way on with the pics. first one are the genral pics of the site.

A great place this! Went with diehardlove and burb147. I got on to the site took my first photo and the camera died, also bought the wrong batteries! So all photos are taken on my iPhone hence the quality, sorry if they hurt your eyes! Anyway here are a few of the best and a short history too.

The T G Green pottery, best known as makers of Cornishware, was founded by Thomas Goodwin Green in 1864, when he bought a small pottery at Church Gresley from a Henry Wileman. Originally makers of earthenware kitchenwares, the more decorative Cornish Kitchenware was borne out of the economic hardships and recession of the early 1920s. Cornish Ware was to prove successful and long-lived, and is still produced to this day, albeit under different ownership.
