She is Honorary Visiting Professor at the University of Warwick, and has written widely on 18th and 19th cen- tury literary and culture. The latest of her acclaimed works is 'The Lunar Men - The Friends Who Made the Future'. She will be speaking on Erasmus Darwin (grandfather of Charles Darwin), and other associ- ated friends of the great Josiah. Kathy Niblett - Former senior curatorial member of staff at the world famous Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent (Staffordshire) - Kathy will be talking about studio potters past and present. Kathy is well known to former WIS participants as a guest lecturer. David Puxley - The first ever Wedgwood resident studio potter in the 1960s - David will talk on his reminiscences of his time at Wedgwood, and his later experiences as a renowned studio potter. Lord Queensberry - For the last 5 decades Lord Queensberry has reigned supreme in the design world, and formed, with Martin Hunt, the world-famous Queensberry Hunt Design Association. Lord Queensberry will give his own individual thoughts on past and present design, and design philosophy. Alan Wedgwood - Direct descendent of the great Josiah Wedgwood, Alan (as a toddler) laid the foundation stone for the new Barlaston factory in 1936, 'assisted' by Production Director Norman Wil- son. Alan will talk on 'his family'. Julie McKeown - Well known lecturer and author, Julie will be talking on the history of 'Rode Hall' - and its long-lasting associations with the Wedgwood family (including Richard Wedgwood, father-in-law of Josiah I), and the artist Walter Crane. This precedes our trip to Rode Hall to see the house, its great ceramics collection, and beautiful gardens. Sharon Gater - Senior curatorial member of the Wedgwood Museum Trusts staff, expert on 19th and 20th century Wedgwood production, and pioneering researcher into the life and achievements of Charles Darwin. She is to give a paper on the third generation of the Darwin / Wedgwood family - the re- nowned Charles Darwin himself, whose 200th anniversary of his birth we are also celebrating in 2009. Sharon is one of our favorite speakers and has been dubbed one of the “Three Graces of Barlaston”! Kevin Salt - Archivist at the Wedgwood Museum Trust, and author on the history of 'Etruria' - will talk on Richard Wedgwood, Wedgwood's father-in-law, and also on 18th century 'Wedgwood's Burslem'. Ray Johnson - Senior academic lecturer at Staffordshire University will provide a commentary and show early 20th century films of "The Potteries”. Ray has dedicated several decades of his life to the location and restoration of Potteries' archive film - the evening will include the famous, and often hilarious, 1930 week-long pageant which was held in Hanley Park to celebrate the bicentenary of Wedgwood's birth in 1730. The Wedgwood Museum The Potteries has welcomed a new landmark building and visitor attraction to Stoke-on-Trent, The Wedgwood Museum, at Barlaston. Opened in October, 2008, the £10 Million Museum houses the majority of the Wedgwood ceramic archive and art collection to create a new museum of International significance. Not since 1906 has so much of the archive been out of storage and on view to tourist, scholars, and visitors from around the world. Here you’ll find a striking new state-of-the-art building.

  • 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.

    Newsletter of the Staffordshire Gardens and Parks Trust. Registered Charity No. 1013862. WINTER 2012 ISSUE No. 4­­7 News Staffordshire Gardens & Parks Trust Published by the Staffordshire Gardens and Parks Trust. c/o South Staffordshire LETTER Council, Wolverhampton Road, Codsall, Staffordshire WV8 1PX. Tel: 01902 696000 “BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY!” At half past four on the afternoon of August 30th, 1894, following a civic luncheon attended by 250 guests, the Mayor of Burslem, Alderman Spencer Lawton, led a procession seven thousand strong to Burslem Park behind a banner proclaiming “Success to Our Park”. After delivering a speech from the terrace, Cllr. Bowden, Chairman of the Baths and Parks Committee, with due ceremony unlocked the ornate gates with a silver-gilt key which he and his wife had donated. On June 23rd, 2012, a re-enactment took place to celebrate the re-opening of Burslem Park following the recent restoration. As part of the ceremony a copy of the original banner was carried through the park with a few thousand in attendance Various features of the new park were testimony to the munificence of local industrialists and the skill of local manufacturing: the two ornate terracotta fountains, were donated in memory of Arthur Wilkinson by his wife and daughters; gates, seats, shelters and drinking fountains made from terracotta were all donated by local industrialists. The origins of the park can be traced to the development of the pottery and mining industries which had transformed and despoiled the landscape of the area; by the end of the nineteenth century, Burslem had become a thriving Potteries town.
