  • From Pits to Pots and the link between Staffordshire's industrial past

    From Pits to Pots and the link between Staffordshire's industrial past
    Nov 13 2019
    In this episode I travel between the mines of the former working colliery at Apedale Heritage Centre and Middleport's Pottery museum, linking up with volunteers involved in proto-type project 'Pit to Pots' led by Middleport communications manager Sarah Nadin. 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.

    I catch up with the cast of Claybody Theatre's latest local based production The D Road, and speak to its creator and writer Deb McAndrew, alongside director Conrad Nelson, about the inspiration which drove them to tackle such a divisive subject as the A500, which has continued to split a city decades after its creation.
