I think you’ll find that one of the five towns is Fenton not Trentham as a Stokey myself I find it a bit insulting that you do not know this

Would love to find out more about The Summerbank Pottery of Tunstall and hear from former workers/Potters - I own the largest private Coopercraft collection in the U.K. but know very little about the pottery or how many different ceramics were produced

Potters Holidays - Wakes Week was historically the first 2 weeks in August, following on from August Bank Holiday, which was the first Monday in August. Earlier it would have been just one week. The Thursday of the first week was known as Trentham Thursday in the first part of the 20th century, possibly as it coincided with half-day closing, so shop workers could get out with family members who had a holiday week.

My family had a pottery at Kiln Croft Burslem in the 16th cent. They remained with pottery and other businesses in Burslem until the 1920’s. The main house after moving from 4 houses on the Marsh at Wolstanton in the 18th. Was at number 1, Swan Square. As well as the various factories they owned 90 houses in the Chapel Lane area. These were subject to the first slum clearance in the City in the 1920’s.

I think people are probably so engrossed in listening to the stories, they jump to the next part of the video and forget to comment - This was part five and I've only just thought about checking the comments, let alone making a comment of my own - ex Stokie here - I never worked in the pottery industry but KINDA wanted to because as an apprentice on MEB (Midlands electricity board) we visited tons of pottery firms and I wasn't really very well suited to being an electrician - although it angered the other electricians when i eventually explained I WISHED I had worked on a pot bank instead - they thought I was ungrateful - but really, I was just shy and unconfident - one steady place of work would have suited me better - But I remember similar stress to this lady, having to get everyone's tea made to their exact requirements - fussy so and so's - being an apprentice or trainee in any industry is probably fraught with the worry of keeping your superiors happy enough not to make your life a misery - In the male environment of the trades, like electrics, one or two people had their own way of getting revenge if their superiors didn't like how they'd made the tea or whatever - I remember some electricians putting SWARFEGA in the tea for someone they didn't like, and i've heard worse - I was always fascinated with clay modelling though, in the school art class sort of way ... the idea of PIECE WORK sounds pretty miserable. Fascinating series here though - much appreciated.,

Piece work (carrot danglers). Now those were the days. How many stamped plates of various shapes and sizes (one of my jobs on the Pots, way back in the day) could you knock out on a daily basis over the expected numbers just to get a few extra quid in your pay packet at the end of the working week.

What an art. Even slicing with that cheese wire was made to look easy. I hope that talented lady is passing her craft down to other people, so they in turn can keep this tradition going well into the future.

It's not a very friendly place though. I was brought here under protest by my late parents when I was seven years old in 1954. That's 65 years ago this year (2019) and I've never made any friends here, was never accepted by the Stokies and therefore never integrated here in any way. There were never any girlfriends, no marriage or children or grandchildren. I'm in the same position now as I was in 1954. I just look a lot older. I certainly tried to befriend the Stokies in the earlier years, but in the end, I realised I was flogging a dead horse and just gave up. Understandably, I have a very low opinion of the Stokies and I absolutely detest Stoke on Trent and who can blame me?

It's not Trentham it is North to South: Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke-upon-Trent, Fenton & Longton. Even Wikipedia has got that right!

A good series of films, but I must point out a couple of errors; Stoke-on-Trent is a conurbation of SIX towns.that celebrated its centenary in 2012. You seem to have omitted both Fenton and Tunstall, and mistakenly included Trentham?

Excellent.It's about time us Potteries folk let the world know that we are proud of our heritage. I have lived in many British cities both north and south and can say that without a doubt Potteries folk are the most friendly. In recent years the area has suffered greatly from pit closures,the demise of the pottery industry and the closure of Shelton Steel works, yet the spirit of the place remains and the courage of it's inhabitants in the face of so many job losses should be an example to all.
