Gladstone Pottery Museum
I’d start with the yard and then go into the workshops. Seeing the spaces people worked in makes the finished china feel like the end of a much longer story.

Peter Sherratt.
Hello, I’m Peter. I arrived in Stoke-on-Trent aged 9, from Birmingham. My earliest memories belong somewhere else, but home is here. The older working buildings are what first made me look properly at the Potteries. I’m interested in the people who did the work, not only the names stamped underneath the china. Old industrial places are my thing.

Middleport Pottery Heritage Trail
The bathhouse is a detail I’d make a point of finding. It brings the workers back into a visit that could otherwise become all machinery and nice patterns.

Emma Bridgewater Café & Garden
After two pottery stops I’d want lunch, not another display case. The café at the factory keeps the day connected without asking everyone to keep concentrating.
