The pottery industry was key for Burton-in-Lonsdale on the borders
of Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria for nearly three centuries
until its demise in 1944. This book tells the story of Richard
Bateson, the last potter of Black Burton, a renowned thrower and
teacher. It encapsulates the history and traditions of this lost
trade; the personalities, the struggles, the humour alongside the
hard work. The book is a grand contribution to the history of
Burton, the history of pottery and the story of rural arts in
transformation from an industrial to a more artistic endeavour.
"The most comprehensive collection of history, stories, first-hand
accounts and photographs we are ever likely to see... social
history of a high order; rooted in its context, explored by those
who really understand how it was." From the Foreword by Mark
McKergow "(Richard) didn't like Bernard Leach's pots, because all
Leach's pots had a wobble and Richard's never did." David Frith,
Brookhouse Pottery
