What a facelift! The front Church Street Entrance of the Spode Works has been painstaking restored by Stoke Council to a very high standard. The Gates and Rubbing Stones are original Spode c1800. The sign above the gates was designed by Harold Holdway and erected in 1960. When Carborundum owned the factory the letters "WT Copeland and Sons" were boarded over and painted as a red band. This was the face of Spode until closure in 2008, it subsequently fell into disrepair with the prospect of it falling down. Let's hope this iconic image fronts the regeneration of the Spode Works site in the not too distant future.
