WHAT DOES THE POTTERIES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

the Potteries

Staffordshire Potteries

The Staffordshire Potteries is a generic term for the industrial area encompassing the six towns that now make up Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. The name is now synonymous with Stoke-on-Trent itself. Stoke City FC are referred to as The Potters. North Staffordshire started to become a centre of ceramic production in the early 17th century, due to the local availability of clay, salt, lead and coal. Hundreds of companies produced decorative or industrial ceramic items. However, the boom came after the discovery in 1720 by potter John Astbury of Shelton, that by adding heated and ground flint powder to the local reddish clay could create a more palatable white or cream ware. The flint was sourced from either the South Coast of England or France, and then shipped to the Port of Liverpool or Shardlow on the River Trent. After shipping to the watermills locally to the potteries, or commercial flint grinding mills in either the Churnet Valley or Moddershall Valley by pack horses, it was sorted to remove the flint with reddish-hues, and then heated to 1,200 °C to create an easily ground product.
