Dist:0.4km<br/>Magistrates Clerks Offices, Fenton. See the main building:- http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/344187 Arms were granted to the new county borough in 1912. They were made up of devices previously used by the constituent six towns, although only Burslem actually received a grant to use arms. Description of the City Arms: "Argent [silver], a cross gules, fretty or [fretted with gold], between in the first quarter a representation of the Portland Vase; in the second a camel kneeling proper, charged on the body with an escutcheon argent [silver shield], thereon a cross gules [red cross]; in the third an eagle displayed sable; and in the fourth a scythe also proper, on a chief of the second a boar's head erased between two Stafford Knots of the third. Crest - on a wreath of the colours, a Potter of ancient Egypt at his wheel argent."

Dist:0.4km<br/>Although listed on a list of surviving bottle kilns (see my gallery) these are in fact material calcining kilns of bottle form. Due to a mesh in the fence I had to hold my chunky DSLR over the fence and shoot blindly. Having made several attempts I discovered the top of the fence was liberally slathered with thick black grease that I got all over my nice coat - it's coming off slowly and with difficulty.
