copyright and stuff

Thank-you
So many people have made contributions of photographs, articles and stories which add to the depth and interest of this site. Thank you to them for their contribution - where I have remembered I have included their name - if I missed you out or got a name / description wrong then let me know so I can fix it.

Public domain
Sometimes I have used material which has been assumed to be in the public domain or passed onto me as such - if you think that this is not so or you think I have infringed your copyright then please contact me so that I can correct any errors - don't come after me with a pack of lawyers - I'm just trying to build up a worthwhile resource on the North Staffordshire Potteries!
