Description
Longton Through Time by Mervyn Edwards explores the town's rich history and industrial heritage. The area is famous for its ceramic production, with numerous big businesses thriving in the region. The pottery firing process was aided by the unique 'long-flame coals' from the local collieries. Surviving photographs of the marlholes reveal the town's industrial past, while also highlighting its claim to establishing the Potteries' first municipal park. This book celebrates various elements of Longton's heyday, drawing on the success of the Gladstone Pottery Museum in interpreting the town's history. With 96 pages and a paperback binding, this book offers a unique insight into Longton's past and its significance as a centre for ceramic production.
