Around Hanley Revisited: Britain in Old Photographs

Containing more than 180 images, this charming collection of photographs and postcards celebrates life in the area over the last 100 years. Much of this material is extremely rare, including photographs of the famous pottery works from the earliest days of photography. Many of the workers left the town for a new life in the United States of America; this book contains some of their letters home, giving a fascinating insight into life at the turn of the twentieth century. Expanding out to include the outlying districts of the town, Around Hanley Revisited will delight all who know and love the area.
