Bottle Oven, Heron Cross, Stoke on Trent
One of the very few bottle ovens still standing in the potteries. This is unusual as it is built into the factory building. Now no longer producing pottery the building is in Chilton Street.

Inside Burslem Pottery
The city was scattered with potteries, which was by far the biggest industry in this area. Now very few remain - even fewer are in use.
This one is being used by Burslem Pottery now - who make art ware.

Blurton Free Baptist Church
This is the most modern part of the church, fronting onto Blurton Road. It was put up post WW2, I believe. This is the entrance now used to access the chapel.
