I was delighted to go on a tour of Middleport Pottery and Burleigh this weekend.
We are so blessed to have world leading ceramics in Stoke-on-Trent. Burleigh Pottery was first established in 1851 and is the only ceramic company in the world using tissue transfer decoration. Each piece of Burleigh is individually handmade and unique to its owner.
Middleport Pottery is a model pottery showing the best of Victorian industrialisation and has been brought back to life by the Prince's Trust.
We now see the site being used for major TV production on shows like The Great British Pottery Throw Down and Peaky Blinders.
Spread the word about this amazing piece of our industrial heritage and make sure people continue to come from around the UK and the world to visit.
