This print from The Northcliffe Collection transports us back to Stoke on Trent in 1962, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the town's rich industrial past. As we peer at this aerial view, our eyes are drawn to the air heavy with grey smoke billowing from the kilns of the Potteries.

The image evokes a sense of history and heritage, reminding us of the town's pivotal role in shaping Britain's pottery industry during the 1960s. The stark contrast between dark smoke and pale sky creates a visually striking composition that captures both the beauty and environmental impact associated with this bygone era. Looking closer, one can discern clusters of buildings nestled amidst sprawling landscapes, hinting at bustling communities where skilled artisans once crafted intricate pottery pieces by hand. This snapshot freezes time, allowing us to reflect upon how these towns have evolved over decades. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, it serves as a poignant reminder of Stoke on Trent's industrial legacy and its enduring contribution to British craftsmanship.
