BURSLEM IN THE POTTERIES

In roaming around the internet I stumbled upon some interesting pictures on a flickr site by Futurilla and I thought I'd share the photos. You can go here to see Futurilla's Photostream or simply enjoy these images. Since I posted this more photos have been added to Futurilla's Photostream, so you'll need to scroll thru more pix to find all the Wedgwood related shots, but it's worth the few moments it takes, several great pictures of Wedgwood sites.

The is the doorway to the now shuttered Wedgwood Institute; you'll find more about it in an older post.

This is Burslem from Grange, a spectacular view of this very old town so much connected with the Potteries. This is the town where Josiah I was baptized.
