A bed of clay found here in
the early 19th century contained the finest
stoneware clay in Europe, and just a few years
later it was put to good use by the talented men
of Denby Pottery. Today the company’s wares, such
as Imperial Blue and Regency Green, are world
famous. At one time it was the largest exporter of
bottles and jars in Britain. Its superb visitor
centre allows visitors to try their hand at pot
throwing.
