EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken in July 1933 by Aerofilms for Historic England, captures a bustling industrial scene in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, the heart of The Potteries. The image reveals a mosaic of factories, kilns, towers, and workshops, all dedicated to the production of ceramics. At the center of the frame stands A.G. Hackney & Co., an industrial porcelain works. Surrounding it are various other potteries, including Britannia Pottery, Havelock Works, and Vulcan Pottery. The smoke stacks of these factories punctuate the skyline, while the intricate network of roads and railways crisscrosses the landscape, connecting the various production sites. To the left of the frame, a rope works can be seen, its long, thin buildings and winding towers a stark contrast to the more uniform shapes of the potteries. The image also reveals the urban fabric of Hanley, with its terraced houses, churches, and schools nestled among the industrial buildings. The Potteries, a region renowned for its rich ceramics heritage, comes alive in this photograph. The intricate interplay of industry and urban life is on full display, offering a glimpse into the past and the remarkable economic and industrial activity that once defined this area.
