Stoke on Trent is synonymous with the pottery industry. There has been a pottery on the site of the Spode Factory from at least 1751 when documentary sources record that Benjamin Lewis transferred a 'newly erected' potworks to his son, Taylor Lewis.

The site passed through several hands until Josiah Spode purchased it from Jeremiah Smith on the 29th February 1776.

The Spode site is not just of National historical importance, but the centrepiece of Stoke Town’s heritage.

The historic Spode factory is, along with the Coalport works at Ironbridge and the Davenport Works at Longport, one of the last two remaining “great name” ceramics factories from the Industrial Revolution.
