Some of my family used to stop in whittington moor. some are even buried there. They would come back every winter to the pottery factories and stock up with the stoneware pots, then come the spring off they would go down the west coast till they got to wales. Selling all the pots as they went. They seemed to go back to the same place everytime a road called Foundry street.There were apparently a lot of pottery factories in whittington.
