The Potteries in Stoke-on-Trent

 Absolutely loved the Potteries in Stoke-on-Trent!  This is the time clock used by the employees in the late 1800's.
 Entrance to the Potteries.
 These are the molds that are stacked inside the kilns and are ready to be fired.
 Love this picture.  This is where they fill and prepare the molds before they are fired.



 This nice man demonstrated for us how to make pots on the potters wheel.
Elder Blunck shows us the size of the kilns.
 This is the furness that heats the Potteries and provides power to the factory. 
The tools and machines that keep the Potteries going.
 The kilns.




 The Potteries also make tiles.  So pretty!

 These are the pots where they mix the colors and glazes to go on the plates, cups, bowls etc.
 The molds.
