Malcolm Brindley.

My name’s Malcolm. I’ve been in Stoke-on-Trent for 49 years, after a spell in Hull. I’m attached to the everyday bits as much as the big sights. I like seeing the skill behind something most of us use without thinking. I like getting to the bottom of a story, and I’m happy to spend most of an afternoon in one place if it earns it.

Malcolm’s three recommendations

01

See & Do

The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery

I’d check the museum’s open galleries first, because it’s only partly open at the moment. I’d rather plan for what I can see than turn up with a list of inaccessible favourites.

02

Family

V&A Wedgwood Collection

I’d follow the experiments and designs rather than look only for the famous blue pieces. The free galleries let you be selective without feeling you’ve wasted a ticket.

03

Hidden Gems

Middleport Pottery Heritage Trail

The steam engine is where I’d slow down. It helps put the pretty finished ware back into the larger industrial world that produced it.
