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.

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.

Footbridge at Heron Cross
The last mile of the A50 towards Stoke-on-Trent (past Stoke City FC's Britannia Stadium) is a spur which ends at the junction with the A500; the northbound A50 continues from the roundabout at Heron Cross.

A50 - hidden footbridge at Heron Cross
A remarkable structure amidst the Heron Cross road system which springs directly from the cutting walls and presumably provides access under the roads which parallel either side of the A50. You need a 1:25k map to identify the footbridge's location as the 1:50k map simply can't fit it in!

Heron Cross Pottery, Chilton Street, Fenton
I've seen this many times from the train but this was the first time I had come for a picture. Heron Cross Pottery is still trading on this site.

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.
