Badge Order Form ..................................................................................................................... 11 1. Decorate a plate/mug/bowl etc. in the style of a famous Potteries artist The Potteries are famed for their pottery manufacturers and designers, names such as Clarice Cliff and Josiah Wedgwood became known the world over. Learn about some of these famous designers and decorate a plate/mug/bowl etc. in their style. Note for Leaders: For Rainbows it could be decorating paper plates, Brownies and Guides could decorate actual plates and Senior Section may even consider making their own mugs or bowls to decorate. 2. Locate Potteries on map Locate the Potteries on a map and work out how far it is away from where you live. Imagine you’re going on a trip there, plan the places you’d want to visit and things you’d like to do. Note for Leaders: For Rainbows this could be picking from a pre-made list of spots to visit and talking about why they’d like to go, Brownies and Guides could plan a weekend trip and find locations for themselves, Senior Section and Adults could also add in costs of travel and lodgings possibly also deciding where they’d like to eat. For those feeling extra adventurous go on the trip you’ve planned! 3. Mining Stoke-on-Trent was a centre for coal mining as recently as the 1990’s. Find out about coal mining and its uses. Have an evening in the dark as though you’re down in the mines, bring torches and sing some songs to keep moral up as they used to do. Notes for Leaders: Research your local area to find out if there are any coal mine museums open for visits for older groups. If you’re having an evening in the dark you could pick an era to recreate, in the early days of mining they didn’t have battery operated torches. 4. Potteries Dialect Here in the Potteries everyone calls each other Duck, but go back a generation and a considerable amount of people spoke Potteries Dialect, a strange sounding dialect that’s difficult to understand for those who didn’t grow up with it. Find out about Potteries Dialect and learn some of the phrases used. Notes for Leaders: Further in the pack there are some phrases to start you off, including meaning and pronunciation, for Rainbows you could simplify it by just teaching them one or 2 phrases, Brownies and Guides could do their own sketch in Potteries Dialect and Senior Section could look into how the language evolved. 5. Famous people quiz Further on in the pack is a quiz on famous people from the Potteries, you could set this up so the names of the famous people are spread around the room and the girls have to run to the name they think is the answer to the question. Alternatively you could give the quiz to your patrols/sixes and have the girls try it on their own. This quiz will probably be more of a guessing game for the younger girls. Some of the answers will be used in other parts of the challenge so the girls may begin to recognise some of the names. This section could be done in conjunction with the scavenger hunt for section 11, the questions could be printed for each girl/group and the answer on slips of paper hidden around the room for the girls to find. 6. History of the Potteries The pottery industry dates back to the 17th century but was the most profitable in the late 1800’s Find out what life was like when the pottery industry was first starting both in the Potteries and in your town Have an olden days evening, maybe have different sixes or patrols be different eras 7. Make a bottle kiln The Potteries skyline used to be dominated by huge bottle kilns used for firing all of the pottery made in the factories. Now there are only 47 left in Stoke-on-Trent, it’s been estimated that there were once 4000! Find out about bottle kilns and have a go at making your own. Note for Leaders: Rainbows could always colour a bottle kiln if making one would be too time consuming. Your bottle kiln doesn’t have to be clay either, depending on how much you want to clean up you could also consider making a large group bottle kiln from boxes that the girls could walk inside, or individual bottle kilns out of clay, Lego or even something edible like marshmallows! 8. 6 towns game The 6 Towns make up the Potteries, they are: Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton. Stick up the names of the 6 Towns around your meeting place, read out some facts about that town and the girls have to try to guess which town it is by running over to that town sign. Some example questions can be found in the resources section. Notes for Leaders: If this game is getting too tricky, give multiple choice options, for example: Does “Town A” or “Town B” contain the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery? 9. Canals Canals run all through the Potteries, in the days when the pottery industry was flourishing deliveries were made by boats on the canals dragged by horses. Look at the unique brightly coloured designs on canal boats and design your own. If you live near a canal go and take a look at the designs yourself. 10. Stoke City & Port Vale The city has 2 football clubs, SCFC (founded in 1863) and PVFC (formed in 1879). Design your own team football shirts, maybe even decorate real tops using fabric pens and paints! Play a game of football, this could be in your unit or have a competition across your district or division. 11. Staffordshire Hoard While the Staffordshire Hoard was discovered in Lichfield part of the collection is on display in the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery. This collection of gold and silver Anglo-Saxon metalwork is the biggest ever found, it was discovered back in 2009 and consists of over 3,500 items! Hold your own scavenger hunt and try to find your own Staffordshire

  • Zeppelins Over Trentham
    Zeppelins over Trentham Zeppelin raids had taken place at points across the country from 1915, but it was believed that the Midlands were too far inland to be reached by airships. On 31st January 1916, the area was taken by surprise as a number of airships reached the Midlands. One was seen over Walsall at 20.10 and another attacked Burton at 20.30. Lighting restrictions were not in force at the time, so the local area, including the steelworks at Etruria, were lit up. A zeppelin approached from the south and was seen over Trentham. Frederick Todd, the Land Agent for the Trentham Estate, reported that: “At least two zeppelins, who were evidently making their way to Crewe, dropped seven bombs at Sideway Colliery without much damage - they missed their objectives which were the Power House, the by-products plant, and the pit-head installation.” They made craters, but caused no injuries or loss of life. Following this raid, precautions were taken, with blackouts and restrictions on lighting. In 1915 Trentham Church reported spending £3 on insurance against zeppelin attack and damage. On Monday 27th November 1916, a clear, dry night, the German Navy Airship LZ 61 [Tactical number L21], in the company of nine other Zeppelins, crossed the Yorkshire coast. It initially attacked Leeds but was repelled by anti-aircraft fire. Commanded by Oberleutnant Kurt Frankenberg, the LZ61 was on its 10th raid of England, and had also carried out 17 reconnaissance missions. At 22.45 a warning was received locally. Black out and air raid precautions were taken.

  • Stoke-On-Trent (Uk) Policy Brief #3 • Compact Connected City
    STOKE-ON-TRENT (UK) POLICY BRIEF #3 • COMPACT CONNECTED CITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This policy brief displays a successful compact and connected city solution – the consolidation of Staffordshire University into a distinct University Quarter – that has been implemented in Stoke-on-Trent – a medium-size polycentric industrial city in central England1, coping with population loss. Building on local knowledge and stakeholders’ experiences, it shows how better integration of local knowledge infrastructure can improve the compactness and connectivity of the city. It reveals a number of conditions to make it happen. The key lesson is that achieving compactness and connectivity depends on building unique university expertise, meeting the current and future requirements, and aspirations of the academic staff, students, and visitors, and on providing good learning, teaching, and everyday life experience. INTRODUCTION For a city of its size, Stoke-on-Trent has rather sound knowledge infrastructure, being home to four institutions of further and higher education. They include Staffordshire University (14,910 students in total), Stoke-on-Trent College (17,000 students), the City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College (1,800 students), and Royal Stoke University Hospital, a teaching and research body affiliated with Keele University School of Medicine (750 students). The University of Keele itself (with 10,600 students in total) is located approximately 4 miles (7 km) west of Stoke. These many advantages notwithstanding, until recently, the city had not been able fully to explore and utilise its knowledge base for urban regeneration. For decades, this heavily industrialised urban area has struggled with both attracting potential students and retaining fresh graduates.
