VAST collect memories of Dudson

A community hub is on the lookout for former pottery workers to share their memories for a new exhibition celebrating the everyday stories of life at a historic factory.

Voluntary Action Stoke-on-Trent (VAST) is hosting the event at The Dudson Centre, on Hope Street in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, as part of the annual Heritage Open Days in September.

Organisers said they hoped to reach people who worked on the site, or those who remembered it while it was in operation, as well as those who worked at the Dudson Centre when it reopened as a community hub.

They are hoping to shares stories of people based on the site from its time as a working factory, right up to the present day.
