Staffordshire Potteries
Historic ceramic-producing region within the present Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Staffordshire Potteries is the industrial area encompassing the six towns Burslem, Fenton, Hanley, Longton, Stoke and Tunstall,[1] which is now the city of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. North Staffordshire became a centre of ceramic production in the early 17th century,[2] due to the local availability of clay, salt, lead and coal.
