I don’t think Trentham is one of the 6 towns. But Fenton is.

Top top top chef ❤❤❤❤

I used to work in Stoke. Great friendly people.

I think you’ll find that one of the five towns is Fenton not Trentham as a Stokey myself I find it a bit insulting that you do not know this

What is the name of the book I saw you with on making flowers?

Would love to find out more about The Summerbank Pottery of Tunstall and hear from former workers/Potters - I own the largest private Coopercraft collection in the U.K. but know very little about the pottery or how many different ceramics were produced

Rita is my son’s step grandma & has kindly agreed to use some of my mums ashes to make me a daffodil. She’s amazing. Xxx

Potters Holidays - Wakes Week was historically the first 2 weeks in August, following on from August Bank Holiday, which was the first Monday in August. Earlier it would have been just one week. The Thursday of the first week was known as Trentham Thursday in the first part of the 20th century, possibly as it coincided with half-day closing, so shop workers could get out with family members who had a holiday week.

All the wealth that must have been generated from those centuries of toil...they lived the good life..

My family had a pottery at Kiln Croft Burslem in the 16th cent. They remained with pottery and other businesses in Burslem until the 1920’s. The main house after moving from 4 houses on the Marsh at Wolstanton in the 18th. Was at number 1, Swan Square. As well as the various factories they owned 90 houses in the Chapel Lane area. These were subject to the first slum clearance in the City in the 1920’s.

Yes no unemployment I walked down Lichfield street decided I wanted a job no interview yes started Monday worked with other girls being shown by a older lady how to band and line That was Johnson’s Hanley it closed down about 1980 Hemma Bridgeford decided to bring back beautiful pottery again Well done

So talented we had no interviews yet what skills the potters had She is so happy remembering the days of full employment good lady it is so interesting listening to her talk I was a girl trying to work in the pottery industry but it wasn’t for me ended being a nurse i did not like being cooped up in a factory looking through a window and seeing just the wall of another part of the factory all day

Could you find out the history of the witch of Burslem and show the grave because it is a interesting story poor lady living on a small holding was accused of being a witch because she had to fend for herself she was a relative of the Wedgwood line my sister Pat did our family tree and found it

What was the pub called next door to Beswicks in Longton

Thank you for not pronouncing the "n" in kiln. You obviously know your history.

J&G Meakin Eagle Pottery Ivy-House Road, did 7 years.

Over 5,000 views and only one single comment. Wow! Nice work Carol. Very artistic. China and south east Asia Carol, that's where all the work has gone, unfortunately. All those lithographing sweat shops. Watch out for the "none genuine" stamps folks!

Piece work (carrot danglers). Now those were the days. How many stamped plates of various shapes and sizes (one of my jobs on the Pots, way back in the day) could you knock out on a daily basis over the expected numbers just to get a few extra quid in your pay packet at the end of the working week.

What an art. Even slicing with that cheese wire was made to look easy. I hope that talented lady is passing her craft down to other people, so they in turn can keep this tradition going well into the future.

Nicely narrated Sammy. It's good to see that people like yourself are keeping our pottery heritage and history alive by showcasing videos like this. Nice one fella. Keep up the good work.

Fascinating. I didn't get to visit the museum as covid shut most things, but if I ever go back, it would be great to visit those museums.

Very Interesting but what's the music for... very annoying

This video is Stoke-tastic!

It's not a very friendly place though. I was brought here under protest by my late parents when I was seven years old in 1954. That's 65 years ago this year (2019) and I've never made any friends here, was never accepted by the Stokies and therefore never integrated here in any way. There were never any girlfriends, no marriage or children or grandchildren. I'm in the same position now as I was in 1954. I just look a lot older. I certainly tried to befriend the Stokies in the earlier years, but in the end, I realised I was flogging a dead horse and just gave up. Understandably, I have a very low opinion of the Stokies and I absolutely detest Stoke on Trent and who can blame me?

Sorry not good. I wanted to see how you do it

people think Slash is a Stokie but he was born in London before moving here as a very young child

What about Tunstall and Fenton? And when did Trentham become one of the six (not five) towns?

It's not Trentham it is North to South: Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke-upon-Trent, Fenton & Longton. Even Wikipedia has got that right!

Very nice video! I have added your video to DiziVizi. Tag your other videos to DiziVizi for free and get more views. dizivizi.com/video/159073/history-potteries-part-two-gladstone-pottery-museum-26-uttoxeter-rd-stoke-trent-st3-1pq-uk.html

A good series of films, but I must point out a couple of errors; Stoke-on-Trent is a conurbation of SIX towns.that celebrated its centenary in 2012. You seem to have omitted both Fenton and Tunstall, and mistakenly included Trentham?

Excellent.It's about time us Potteries folk let the world know that we are proud of our heritage. I have lived in many British cities both north and south and can say that without a doubt Potteries folk are the most friendly. In recent years the area has suffered greatly from pit closures,the demise of the pottery industry and the closure of Shelton Steel works, yet the spirit of the place remains and the courage of it's inhabitants in the face of so many job losses should be an example to all.
