An easy-to-use reference for those looking to trace English ancestry connected to the North Staffordshire pottery industry. Tracing Your Potteries Ancestors introduces readers to the wealth of information available to those wishing to trace their North Staffordshire roots. Michael Sharpe gives a fascinating insight into the history of this part of the Midlands, which was for so long dominated by the pottery industry. The six pottery towns—Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton, and Longton—are at the heart of the story. His handbook is an essential guide for anyone researching the life of an individual or family connected with the area, bringing together all the relevant local and national archives for the first time. In a series of short, information-packed chapters, it describes the lives and experiences of ordinary people in this most extraordinary of landscapes. It charts the transition of the Six Towns from scattered farming communities to a thriving industrial conurbation. The living conditions of the urban poor, health and welfare, the influence of religion and migration, education, leisure pursuits, and the traumatic experience of war are all explored, and the many different archives and sources that are open to family history researchers are explained. “Impressively researched, expertly written, deftly organized and presented, Tracing Your Potteries Ancestors: A Guide for Family & Local Historians is an extraordinarily informative and thoroughly reader-friendly resource.” —Midwest Book Review

Book Description
A colorfully illustrated history of buses in postwar England. AEC, Bristol, Crossley, Daimler, Dennis, Leyland, and others were all manufacturers of passenger vehicle chassis that could be seen throughout England in the years following the end of World War Two. They produced a wide range of double deck and single deck buses and coaches, bodied by a considerable number of body builders. With the exception of Dennis, all those chassis makers have now disappeared, along with nearly all the body builders. In addition, most operators of this variety of vehicles are no longer in existence, being primarily absorbed into larger operations. This book can give only a small indication of the major role lifelong bus enthusiast Steve Morris and his Quantock Heritage fleet have played in preserving not only part of the engineering history of the country, but its effect also on social history. In practical terms he has displayed this by enabling the general public to see, enjoy, and also use vehicles of a bygone era.
