Doulton deserted
The industrial area of north Staffordshire was - and sometimes still is - known as the 'Potteries', because of the importance pottery manufacture used to play in employment. Not so any more. This photo of the once-famous, now derelict Royal Doulton works in Burslem is a good illustration of that.
There is still a lot of ceramics expertise in the area, and more small businesses in pottery manufacture than you might think - but the heyday is gone.
