Potbank
70×70cm. Oil
5th in a series of oil paintings of Stoke-on-Trent.
This one is loosely based on the Spode factory (now largely demolished)
‘Spode has been part of Stoke-on-Trent’s industrial heritage for almost 250 years. On 6th November 2008 it called in administrators, who said the china maker had been hit by the recession and left cash-strapped because of a failure to sell part of its Church Road factory for development.
In April 2009 it was announced that the Stoke based Portmeirion pottery company had bought Spode and Royal Worcester from the hands of administrators, thus ensuring the continuance of these names’.
