World of Wedgwood, Barlaston added to Everything Else in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 19/10/2023

The Wedgwood Museum, Barlaston, Staffordshire, England, houses an extensive collection of Wedgwood pottery and artefacts, exhibiting the company's history and creativity. The British pottery company was founded by Josiah Wedgwood in 1759. Wedgwood earned the favour of various European monarchs, including Queen Charlotte of England and Catherine the Great of Russia. The company was granted a royal warrant by various British monarchs and became known as "The Queen's Potter."
The new purpose-built visitor centre and museum was built in Barlaston in 1975 and later remodelled in 1985. A video theatre was added and a new gift shop, as well as an expanded demonstration area, where visitors could watch pottery being made. A further renovation costing £4.5 million was carried out in 2000 and included access to the main factory along with a visitor centre, restaurant and tea room. T

In 1986, Waterford Glass Group plc purchased Wedgwood plc for $360 million dollars but whilst Wedgwood went on to deliver a $39 million dollar profit in 1998 Waterford unfortunately produced a loss of $29 million dollars, after which the group was renamed Waterford Wedgwood plc. In 2009, following years of financial problems at group level, and after it’s shares dropped significantly in the global financial crisis of 2008, Waterford Wedgwood was placed into administration with only 1,800 employees remaining to run the company as a "going concern."
During this time a company factory in Jakarta was producing bone china under both Wedgwood and Royal Doulton brands. In order to reduce costs the majority of production of both brands has been transferred to Indonesia, with only a small number of high-end products continuing to be made in the UK.
The collection with 80,000 works of art, ceramics, manuscripts, letters and photographs faced being sold off to help satisfy pension debts, however, The Heritage Lottery Fund, the Art Fund as well as various trusts and businesses contributed donations to buy the collection and in October 2014, it was finally purchased and donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum, although it continued to be displayed, on loan, at the Wedgwood Museum.

TOAL couldn't be any easier as I used the back edge of their carpark. I did ask if it was okay to film there and they said no problem but I did leave out the fact that I'd be using my mini 3 Pro! It gets pretty busy there so go early or late in the day for a relatively easy time and avoid flying over crowds. Google Maps will take you right there and not far away are:
The Plume and Feathers Pub owned by the actor Neil Morrissey (Men Behaving Badly and Bob The Builder) - less than 3 minutes away by car and they do a cracking pub lunch or book the Restaurant.
Trentham Gardens and Shopping Outlet and Garden Centre - 10minutes by car.

Pride Park Stadium, Derby (By D0c.Col)

THE EVER CHANGING FORTUNES OF DERBY COUNTY FOOTBALL CLUB

Derby County Football Club is a professional association football club in Derby, England. They compete in the EFL Championship, the second level of the English football league system (At the time this video which was published during the 2024/25 season).
One of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888, Derby County is one of only nine clubs to have competed in every season of the English football league system (126 seasons up to the end of the 2024–25 season), with all but six of those being in the top two divisions.
The club was founded in 1884 by William Morley as an offshoot of Derbyshire Coun-ty Cricket Club. Its competitive peak came in the 1970s when it twice won the First Division and competed in major European competitions on four occasions, reaching the European Cup semi-finals as well as winning several minor trophies. Additionally, the club was a strong force in the interwar years – finishing league runner-up twice in the 1930s – and winning the first post-war FA Cup in 1946.
The club's home colours have been black and white since the 1890s. The team's nick-name, The Rams, honours its links with the First Regiment of Derby Militia, its mas-cot being a ram, and its regimental song. They have a long-standing rivalry with Not-tingham Forest, with whom they contest the East Midlands derby.
The best era for the club was in the 1970s when Brian Clough and Peter Taylor took over and led Derby to its greatest glory. Starting at 18th in the Second Division in 1968, Clough and Taylor acquired Alan Hinton, Roy McFarland, and John O'Hare, then clinched the influential signing of Dave Mackay to lead the club to 1st place in 1969, and promotion to the First Division. Derby went on to finish fourth in 1970. Due to financial issues the club were banned from competing in Europe but went on to win their first ever Football League Championship in 1972. Though Derby did not retain their title the following season, they did reach the semi-finals of the European Cup, where they lost to Juventus. Clough's frequent outspoken comments against football's establishment eventually led to him falling out with the board of directors at the club, and Clough and Taylor left in October 1973. Such was their impact on the club that, 37 years later, a 9 ft (2.75 metres) bronze statue of the pair was erected out-side Pride Park in commemoration of their legacy.
After finishing in 12th place in their first season back in the top flight league, the club left the Baseball Ground, its home of 102 years, to move into the new 33,597-seat Pride Park Stadium for the 1997–98 season. The Baseball Ground was demolished six years later and a memorial was eventually erected in memory of its role in Derby city history.
A sudden decline at the turn of the millennium saw three years of struggle for the club and in April 2006, a consortium of local businessmen led by former vice-chairman Peter Gadsby purchased the club, reducing its debt and returning Pride Park Stadium to the club's ownership in the process.
Over the next decade, or so, the club had mixed fortunes, various owners, and a change in it’s stadium name, only for it to return to it’s original name of ‘Pride Park Stadium’ some years later, and is currently on its longest spell outside of the top tier.
Clowes Developments (UK) Ltd purchased Pride Park from Mel Morris on 17 June 2022 and remains the current owner, as the club competes in the second tier in the 2024–25 season.

Park right in front of the stadium for free (non match day). In the heart of Derby City so plenty to see if your in the locality.
