EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the East Front of Victoria Pottery on the day of a Royal Visit in April 1913. The image, taken by Terry Parker, depicts the grandeur and excitement of the occasion as King George V and Queen Mary make their way to the prestigious pottery works in Stoke-on-Trent. The East Front of Victoria Pottery is adorned with an impressive display of patriotic bunting and flags, reflecting the pride and anticipation of the local community. The street outside is filled with onlookers, eagerly awaiting a glimpse of the Royal couple. The road leading up to the pottery is lined with cars, adding to the sense of occasion and importance. Alfred Meakin's Victoria Pottery was a leading ceramics manufacturer in the 1910s, renowned for its high-quality tableware and decorative pieces. The Royal Visit was a special event for the company, marking a significant moment in its history. The King and Queen's visit was a testament to the prestige and success of the pottery industry in Stoke-on-Trent during this period. The photograph provides a fascinating insight into the past, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and excitement of a Royal Visit in the early 20th century. The East Front of Victoria Pottery, bathed in sunlight and adorned with flags and bunting, stands proudly in the background, a symbol of industry, innovation, and national pride.
