Stoke would be a truly unique place if all these old buildings and kilns were still standing, Imagine converting a kiln into a home. Tragic loss really, stoke needs to fire up the kilns again and embrace it's heritage.

I was born in 1946 in the Potteries and remember it well, although I now live in Perth, Western Australia. The difference between these two places is equal to the difference between the Sahara Desert and the North Pole, and yet the memory of The Potteries still draws me back even after all those years.

As a child growing up in Abbey Hulton in the 50's I can remember pea soup smog, sitting on the back door step on bonfire night with the sky crimson from all the bonfires, playing football in Whitehouse Rd and only having to stop once every 20 minutes when the bus came down the road. Working as a dental technician in Shelton , getting off the bus in the morning and nearly retching at the stink from the gas works and Shelton bar, working overtime until 8.pm and the owner saying "I'll pay you in cash" and giving me half a crown (25p) Going to the Kings Hall on a Friday night to the "Mod balls" and walking home from Stoke to the Abbey at 1am in the morning. Buying my first record at Sherwins, Helen Shapiro "Walking back to Happiness" Seeing The Beatles at Trentham garden Going to the Place and meeting my wife there. Good luck to you all, hope this brings back memories for you

The potteries were going strong into the eighties. I worked in recruit at the time and always wish I'd made a list of all the potteries I dealt with. They'd all moved to tunnel kilns by that time. What really finished them off was the combination of a strong pound and high interest rates. The government wanted a high pound, but that made exports virtually impossible. The firms took out loans, hoping that something would be done to encourage exports again. Nothing was done and interest rates were put up. Firms went into liquidation, got bought out by London finance companies who either asset stripped them and sent the work abroad, or introduced trendy ideas that fell flat. Mr Hirst of Wade's told me about his new manager deciding that everyone needed to learn everyone else's jobs. So he had decorators sent down to the clay end and were expected to do labouring and labourers were sent to paint flowers. He didn't last long. Somehow Wade's kept going though. Until recently that is.

Real Jehovah’s Witnesses remain neutral in political affairs. They only concern themselves with God’s Kingdom. Many died during the holocaust because of they’re strong faith. Whatever these worldly governments do will not interfere with their God given assignment found at Matthew 24:14; 28:19&20.

Jehovah's Witnesses are the "chosen ones" now, ever since the Jews killed their long-awaited Messiah, saying "let his blood come upon our heads and the heads of our children." Jesus came with a new religion, one of peace & love, which would include their enemies. Because we refused to bear arms in times of war & because we refused to be part of this wicked world by meddling in politics or voting, we expect persecution as did the 1st century Christians who were thrown to the lions and killed in the gladiator sports.
