    I have a lot of fond memories of my childhood growing up in Sandyford / Goldenhill, I only remember Alfred Meakins as the old factory before moving to Shelton in 63 when my parents split up, I only know Churchills new factory that’s built on the old shawdruck (pottery tip) but pot banks have all but disappeared now ! Every thing is imported now as it’s cheaper – inferior but cheaper, I visit Stoke every so often to see my family and the place looks different each time, I used to work on the pot banks in all the various departments from the slip house to the packing house when we used to use straw and mesh crates ! even worked on Richards Tiles before they were bought by H &R Johnsons, later on in life I became a truck driver working for Berisfords and BRS, retired from trucking these last 4 years and glad of it,relaxing and reminiscing now.
