  • IMMINENT SALE of the SPODE FACTORY TCC Member Action
    IMMINENT SALE OF THE SPODE FACTORY TCC Member Action Needed We recently learned that the Spode factory site at Stoke on Trent, England, has been sold, subject to planning permission being obtained for future development (probably not related to pottery) of the site. Those TCC members who attended the convention in Stoke three years ago will remember the factory as a centerpiece of our meeting and the wonderful tour we enjoyed, particularly the pleasure of seeing how transferware is manufactured. In addition to the factory closing, we understand that the superb Spode Museum, located within the factory grounds, has no future home for its collections and archive material. The Spode site as a manufactory dates to before 1751. Many of the buildings within the area of the old bottle oven are of historic interest and some may date to the mid-1780s. Spode seems to be the last of the famous ceramic manufacturers still occupying the site on which it was founded in 1776. It has tremendous value to Stoke-on-Trent for tourism and heritage. So many of the old factories have been abandoned and torn down that the history of the potteries is being lost. A taxi driver recently told one of our members: "In 5 years time, this will all be gone, and no one will ever know the pottery industry was here." Unfortunately, the factory site is not at present listed with the English Heritage. It is possible that it could be torn down and replaced with a shopping complex. In an effort to try and preserve these buildings, concerned folk are encouraged to contact Jane Corfield, Senior Design and Conservation Officer, Regeneration and Heritage (see address below).

At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Over the past year we have focused much of our effort on assessing listed Places of Worship, and visiting those considered to be in poor or very bad condition as a result of local reports. We now know that of the 14,775 listed places of worship in England, 6% (887) are at risk and as such are included on this year’s Register.
