COTAC has published two volumes of its ‘Regional Study of The Potteries’ online:
The Potteries and Surrounding Areas Part 1: Understanding the Region
The Potteries and Surrounding Areas Part 2: Appreciating the Region
COTAC writes:
With a focus on The Potteries and Surrounding Areas this well-illustrated two-part study was undertaken by Barry Bridgwood and Ingval Maxwell for COTAC in support of its aim to advance a broader understanding by those involved in the protection and sustainability of the historic environment, including the general public.
