Now in Chester, having spent yesterday in Stoke, looking for evidence that the Potteries are still what their name suggests. I don't think Noi and I would have had the location on our list, since our last visit to Stoke was somewhat depressing, what with factories closing down and a general air of dereliction, but since we have Master Potter Rozana in tow it would have been churlish not to have gone looking for signs of life.
Happily we found them at the Emma Bridgewater Factory. The titular lady in question took over an empty factory in the 80's (if I heard correctly from the lady conducting the factory tour) and restored it to life and prosperity. It felt good to find ourselves in a part of the country that had got something very right indeed.
