Witch Molly Leigh Grave, Burslem
Molly Leigh died in 1746 and was buried in Burslem churchyard, but there were claims that her ghost haunted the town. Spencer—along with clerics from Stoke, Wolstanton, and Newcastle-under-Lyme—exhumed her body, opened the coffin, and threw in a still-living blackbird that had been her companion. They then reburied Molly in a north to south direction, at a right angle to all the other graves in the churchyard.

The church tower dates from 1536 though the remainder was rebuilt in 1717. Josiah Wedgwood was baptised in the church in 1730 and served his apprenticeship in the adjacent Churchyard Pottery Works established by his great grandfather in 1656.

The Furlong Mills Co Ltd, Furlong lane, Burslem
Calciners and millers for the pottery industry. The two kilns are for calcination rather than the firing of pots and I believe they were in use when the picture was taken and are only relatively recently out of use.
The works is not really a pottery as it supplies material for the potteries.
