<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 10380841, member: 649&quot;]Oh, the tragedy!</p><p>I had the joy of touring &quot;the potteries&quot; area in 2019. I visited several potteries in the Stoke area including Moorcroft, Middleport/Burleigh, Spode, and Dudson. In fact, I happened to be in the Dudson gift shop when the store clerk was notified that Dudson had gone into administration and over 300 workers were being sent home for good!</p><p>The poor woman looked so harried and upset. She and a few other workers were frantically wrapping up and boxing museum items to be sent to another pottery for storage in order to prevent them from being lost to the world by unappreciative administrators. I actually had to gently talk her into selling me the couple of souvenir items I wanted to purchase, she said she wasn&#039;t even sure she was supposed to continue selling, but she&#039;d heard nothing &quot;official&quot; from anyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
