Mouldmaking shop at Swinnerton’s Ltd, Stoke-on-Trent, 1960s (probably the company's Vulcan Works, Slippery Lane, Hanley). The man nearest the camera is wiping a master mould with a wet sponge. A great deal of pottery was, and still is, cast or pressed from moulds. From one mould multiple pieces of ware of the exact same shape and size could be made. From the collections of Gladstone Pottery Museum.

The Cross Keys Inn was built in 1746 on the original site of the town, which has today expanded to the north west. It was used originally as stables and many horse riding champions once trained here. When this photograph was taken (about 1980) the inn was being restored after being virtually derelict for several years and was still the home of Hednesford Town Football Club. From the Museum of Cannock Chase's collections.
