EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the haunting beauty of the derelict Price and Kensington Teapot Works in Longport, City of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The image, taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2021, showcases a mesmerizing scene that tells a story of industry, decay, and forgotten craftsmanship. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly the imposing bottle kiln rising from the heart of the abandoned pottery works. Its towering presence stands as a testament to an era when this site was bustling with activity and creativity. The chimney nearby adds another layer to this industrial landscape, reminding us of the once-thriving community that relied on these structures for their livelihoods. Yet amidst its state of disrepair and neglect, there is an undeniable allure to this decaying place. The peeling paint on weathered walls reveals layers upon layers of history etched into every brick. Nature has begun reclaiming what was once man-made; vines creep up crumbling facades while wildflowers sprout through cracks in concrete floors. Damian Grady's expertly captured perspective allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and fragility present within this forgotten corner of Staffordshire's heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in abandonment and decay lies a profound beauty waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph, we are transported back in time - invited to reflect on our own connection with industry and how it shapes our communities.
