Wedgwood.

We are in the middle of Staffordshire in an area known as the Potteries and no wonder because we see so many I've lost count. Firstly we pick up Janet and Frank and head for the Wedgwood Factory which has a brilliant Visitor Centre with a History Film, a Museum and factory tour. Josiah Wedgwood was a truly incredible man, not only a clever designer but a great Humanitarian as well, he was also Charles Darwin's Grandfather. We spend many hours listening, reading, watching, lunching and browsing the very tempting shops then we are off for a tour of Stoke and the many many other Potteries... what an amazing place this must have been in it's heyday!!

I was so busy absorbing information today I forgot to take photos but when I saw this Hexagon Cow at the Trentham Retail Village I had to get the camera out.
