The pottery owners office

 

Location 28 on the index diagram

We have arrived in the owners office and neared the end of the tour. 

The cupboards in the office are packed with notebooks 
inscribed with copper-plate writing. 

One contains company brochures from 1912, 
a First World War helmet and an unopened 
bottle of Edwardian cough mixture.

Previous is the factory showroom
Next is the office safe and the factory price list
