And while you're at the first site, you may be tempted by these
historic photographs of pottery - making in a famous British pottery
and another of a tile - making factory. I note that in the second

removed by special suction draught hoods. spelled "draft" for lazy
Canucks and those rebellious reformers the United States of Americans.
(Just a nod to anyone living in Mexico who knows that their country is
