Wedgwood Factory
Near Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent, and located within minutes walk from the Trent and Mersy canal is the centuries old Wedgwood Company china factory - don't worry, the factory is relatively modern!  Word of caution, leave your charge cards and money locked away in a safe place, a place were you are not tempted to buy, buy, buy the Wedgwood fine china!
