The Great Attraction

Stoke's museum of The Potteries, Gladstone Pottery Museum, is now, officially, one of the top five small tourist attractions in England! How good is that? Here's a bunch of hand made bone china flowers, made at Gladstone in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, to celebrate.

 BUT is it really true that Stoke City Council want to get rid of it? www.stoke.gov.uk/haveyoursay
