Re: Holding's Pottery.

The only potter up there for many years before they closed just after he left was a chap called Rowland Tregurtha and he was my wife's uncle.
He is still alive and lives on Roe Greave Rd.
The other folk who worked there only pressed pots etc but Rowland worked the wheel.
He once let me have a go and from a great big dollop of clay I managed a 3 inch diameter ashtray. he made my wife a decent size flower vase and we got them both after he had painted glazed and baked them, We still have them.
I will dig out a photo of him at work and see if you can remember him.
