Denby Glynbourne Dish & Denby Pottery Glyn Ware Tankard

Originally traced back to the early 1800′s the Denby Pottery is still thriving today from its site in Denby, Derbyshire. You can visit the pottery where you’ll find the factory, several gift shops, a small exhibition, a children’s playground and of course a cafe! There is also a shop where you can buy new pieces of Denby Pottery as well as a seconds shop if you want to pick up a piece slightly cheaper.

There’s plenty of on-site free parking and it is signposted well so is very easy to find. If you do visit do leave us a comment below letting is know your thoughts – what you thought of the site and of the new ranges that Denby are producing today.

This Shelley vase is English and elegantly shaped dating c1925-1945. With its bright vivid orange decoration detailed with abstract brown patterns it’s a very attractive vase. Unlike the majority of Shelley vases you might come across this is a dainty little vase only measuring 11cm tall!

In this section we you’ll find a wide range of pottery books that at some point we’ve read and have reviewed for you.

Books range from specialist Pottery Marks books, time period books such as Art Deco and the 1950′s, to specialist pottery books such as Troika Pottery and Martin Brothers. There are many different types of book available to collectors covering the basics such as identifying different pottery marks to learning all about a specific pottery’s history. Price guides are also available although these have to be treated with caution as prices do fluctuate over the years.

We’re often asked where is the best place to buy any of these books? Well, when you’re at Antique Fairs that’s always a good place to start looking. Often there will be book stalls, some selling second hand copies others selling new copies. Alternatively, there is Amazon which tends to have a good range available and does home delivery.

If you’re a collector, an avid reader or simply looking for a gift for someone then books are the perfect Christmas present. Why not take a look through some of our reviews and see what a wide range is available?

All over the UK, small groups of  enthusiasts keep old trains and short lines open through devoted volunteer efforts and by capturing the public’s desire to experience travel by steam train – especially in the countryside.

One of the best I’ve ever travelled on is the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, which runs from the market town of Pickering, through Goathland (of ITV Heartbeat fame) up to the village of Grosmont, in the heart of the Yorkshire Moors. The trains and stations have been really well preserved and vintage diesels are in use as well as steam engines.

If you are in the area, it is well worth a visit – even if you just stand at the station and admire the locomotives from the platform!

If railway modelling is more your thing, then we have a range of OO Gauge steam trains that should complement a period layout perfectly. In stock at the time of writing are:
