Often called “The Potteries,” Stoke-on-Trent is the heart of British pottery. Since the industry’s start there over 300 years ago, brands like Wedgwood, Spode, Royal Doulton, Burleigh, Emma Bridgewater and many others have shaped the city’s identity. That’s why no visit to the area would be complete without touring the many factories and museums. In addition to the outlets and opportunities at the potter’s wheel, don’t miss Dudson Museum, housed in an atmospheric, original Grade II-listed bottle oven about a mile from the Dudson factory outlet. When you step through the “oven” door you will experience the company’s heritage from 1800 until the present day and discover the history of the oldest surviving family business in the ceramic tableware industry.
