WEDGWOOD in England, REBIRTH EXAMINED - SUCCESS EXPECTED

From our favorite UK newspaper comes an interesting, current appraisal of the coming changes at the Wedgwood factory in Barlaston and the surrounding area.  Having visited the Museum, it's difficult to imagine that anyone can improve it, but it appears plans are in the wings to make it even better.

Check out the plans and views of The Sentinel columnist and see what you think!

WEDGWOOD FAMILY HAD OTHER STARS - THOMAS' PHOTOGRAPHY

Most of us Wedgwood students know that Thomas Wedgwood is considered an important pioneer in the early discovery and development of photography, writing with light, but many others may not know this.  From yesterday's Birmingham (UK) Post comes an interesting article about Tom's early discovery and a story about the original photo he took.  The article is not too long and very enlightening, pardon the pun!
One can easily Google around to learn more about the early history of photography and the Wedgwood name will frequently appear.  We all know Josiah was a man of science but many may be surprised to learn his son Thomas was as well.
