The future hope of this venture is of engaging the communities of North Staffordshire and the Potteries with their heritage, through an interactive guided tour, and enabling people to see just how the industries of Mining and Pottery are entwined.Music by www.bensounds.com For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
