WEDGWOOD WORKERS PRE 1960 SOUGHT BY TV PROGRAM CREW

It appears A. N. Wilson, son of the famous Norman Wilson Wedgwood potter and manager, is working on a TV programme about Josiah Wedgwood.  Check out this article from today's UK Sentinel, especially if you know some perhaps retired potters! 

DOCUMENTARY makers are appealing for anyone who worked at the Wedgwood factory before 1960 to share their memories.
What Larks Productions is working with writer A N Wilson on a programme about Josiah Wedgwood.
Mr Wilson's family moved to Staffordshire towards the end of the 18th Century from Barnstaple, Devon.
The family were industrial potters who were inspired by Wedgwood and A N Wilson's father Norman was headhunted by the famous brand in the 1920s.
He went on to become managing director and was instrumental in developing Wedgwood's Barlaston site and moving the workforce from Etruria.
Anyone who worked with Mr Wilson is asked to email susie@whatlarks.tv or call  0203 327 2883 .
