Welcome to Potteries The

Potteries, also known as The Staffordshire Potteries, is a region in the Midlands of England that is famous for its pottery industry. The area has a rich history of pottery production that dates back to the 17th century. The region is home to several towns, including Stoke-on-Trent, Burslem, Tunstall, and Longton, which are all known for their unique styles of pottery.

The pottery industry in Potteries began in the 17th century when local entrepreneurs discovered that the area's clay was ideal for making pottery. The industry grew rapidly, and by the 19th century, Potteries was the largest producer of pottery in the world. The region's success was due to its skilled workforce, access to raw materials, and the development of new technologies that allowed for mass production.

Today, Potteries is still a hub for the pottery industry, and many of the region's traditional techniques are still used by local artisans. Visitors to the area can explore the many museums and galleries that showcase the region's rich history of pottery production. The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, for example, has an extensive collection of ceramics that spans over 300 years. Overall, Potteries is a fascinating region that has played a significant role in the development of the pottery industry in England and around the world.
