Wedgwood's First Factory, Burslem Stoke on Trent - Time Team Season 6 Episode 1

Do you remember the Time Team coming to Burslem in 1999?
As a self-professed local history nerd, some of my fondest childhood memories are intertwined with explorations of local history. One such unforgettable experience was in 1999 when the acclaimed Time Team arrived in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, to unearth the secrets of Josiah Wedgwood's first factory. At just 12 years old, I had the thrilling opportunity to witness this historical excavation first-hand and see the people I watched every week on the TV up close in my city! A memory that has stayed with me ever since.

Father’s family came from Stoke-on-Trent and held various positions in the potteries in the early 1800s. Some were bone crushers as bone was used in Bone China.
