I&#8217;ve got a bit of a soft spot for Birmingham.   I visited the museums when I was a kid, and particularly liked the Museum of Science and Industry.  Then I spent six years studying engineering and researching at the University during the 1980s: [...]]]></description>

The name Wedgwood, and its most characteristic and recognised Jasper Ware products, are well known icons of the British pottery industry.
