It explores the structural influences on work and unionism and the experience of the people involved. The main contextual features studied include: the industrial framework; ceramic technology and production; the social relations of the workplace; the union's origins and growth; employer action and the potters' relationship with the community, labour movement and state. The study demonstrates how social and economic relations moulded perceptions and that individuals could shape those relations. There are five sections. The first shows the industry's economic structure was the principal determinant of the potter's work. Past industrial development conditioned responses to the events of the 1900-1924 period. Worker and management actions are related to the variety of markets and technology. Secondly, an examination of the production process reveals the sectionalism of the industry's internal relations which affected the potters' attempts at collective organization. Thirdly the evolution of trade unionism and its amalgamated form are explained. Initially the union was craft dominated but during the period came to reflect the composite workforce's response to industrial change. The workgroup, the family and local loyalties formed the basis of union organization. Fourthly, management's desire to control production had a major impact on work and union experience. Industrial bargaining and conflict reinforced the sectionalism of the workforce and the fragmentation of the union. Finally, the class consciousness and political attitudes of the potters resulted from the interaction of workplace and community and were also modified by the potters' relations with other classes, the labour movement and the state. The period constitutes a discontinuity in the development of the Potteries given the changes which occurred in technology, capital and labour organizations and industrial relations. The thesis is the first account of work and unionism in this era of the pottery industry's history and challenges orthodox interpretations of the technical and social aspects of pottery manufacture. It seeks to understand the social basis of work and trade unionism and to broaden the historical study of women workers, industrial disease and the intersection of home, work and trade unionism. iv List of Tables and Figures Tables page 1.

My thanks go to the staff of the university libraries of Warwick, Cambridge and Oxford; Birmingham Central Library; the British Museum; the British Library of Political and Economic Science; the Horace Barks Library; and the William Salt Library. The Gladstone Pottery Museum, the Dyson Perrino Museum, the Modern Records Centre, the Staffordshire Record Office, the Public Records Office and their directors and staff have all been extremely helpful. A number of individuals gave me valuable assistance. John Briggs, Dr. Malcolm Nixon, Muffi Fox and Frank Botham shared their knowledge of the pottery industry and the Potteries with me. My discussions with Liz Brown and Dr. Margarite Dupree on our common field of research were particularly useful. The participants at the social history seminars at Cambridge. Keele and Birmingham universities; the staff seminar at the Industrial Relations Research Unit, Warwick and the Maastricht, Anglo-Dutch Labour History Conference, 1982 are warmly thanked for their comments and criticisms on my work. The staff and students at the Centre for the Study of Social History gave help and advice freely during my research. I remain eternally grateful to the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union and their head office staff in Hanley. They provided me with every possible help during my period of study and lightened the long days spent in their basement. Moreover, they did so while they and their members were experiencing the effects of a recession similar in intensity to the one I was examining which occurred at the beginning of this century. Professor Royden Harrison provided me with continued advice and encouragement. I warmly appreciate the care and attention given to the manuscript by Deirdre Hewitt and commend her high standards of typing. It was my privilege to have Dr. Tony Mason as a supervisor: even if our modes of analysis differ I hope my standards have met his. Anne Whipp alone knows best the contribution she made to my period of research. viii Introduction This is a study of the pottery workers of Staffordshire, their working lives and their trade unions in the period 1900-1924. Work is a significant part of people's existence, yet how the potters experienced work and its changes in the early 20th century has gone largely unchron- icled.

  • Industrial Heritage, Tourism and Old Industrial Buildings: Charting the Difficult Path from Redundancy to Heritage Attraction
    RESEARCH Cutting Edge 1997 Industrial heritage, tourism and old industrial buildings: charting the difficult path from redundancy to heritage attraction Rick Ball, Staffordshire University ISBN 0-85406-864-3 INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE, TOURISM AND OLD INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS: CHARTING THE DIFFICULT PATH FROM REDUNDANCY TO HERITAGE ATTRACTION Dr. Rick Ball Division of Geography Staffordshire University Leek Road Stoke-on-Trent ST4 2DF UK Abstract This exploratory paper considers the processes, problems and constraints involved in the transition of old industrial buildings, often those prone to vacancy, into heritage and tourism- linked uses. It discusses the heritage-property nexus with regard to industrial buildings, and builds an empirical picture of such relationships in a specific local property arena. The discussion is partly based on research projects completed in a number of localities within the British West Midlands. In particular, it draws on work on the evaluation of European Commission Community Initiatives in the West Midlands that have targetted tourism development, as well as on EPSRC funded research focused on vacant industrial buildings in Stoke-on-Trent. As such, in scene-setting style, a structure is developed for the evaluation of heritage-property links with the emphasis on the small number of specific local projects that have at least partly sought to bring buildings back into use with some, perhaps extensive, degree of heritage activity in mind. 1. Heritage and the property domain - some introductory comments The background to this paper is the apparent reassertion of industrial heritage as a flavour of tourism in the late 1990s (Goodall, 1996), a process pursued with vigour in the quest for the renaissance of the urban industrial economy (see Ball and Stobart, 1996).

Chinese New Year celebrations took place at the City Museum and Art Gallery on 10th February. Members went along and joined in the fun. Things to enjoy included the dancing Chinese dragon, fire- crackers, traditional music, and a children’s theatre. Dragons are of course legendary animals, but they are important to Chinese people who think of dragons as helpful, friendly creatures. They are linked to good luck, long life and wisdom. The Dragon in the dance has features of other animals such as the horns of a stag, the scales of a fish Music, craft and mask making were being and the footpads of a tiger. demonstrated by talented artisans and musicians.

This list is for information only. We can not retrieve documents from the collection from this list as the documents are spread throughout the collection in different files and have not been indexed. Many documents in the archive are much less clear cut (hand written notes, surveys etc) and it is not always easy to identify precisely which company is being referred to. One frequent potential source of confusion is that potbanks often had their own names, and these may sometimes look like company names. In practice, potbanks could change hands or be divided between more than one company. List of Companies in alphabetical order A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T V W A Wm.
