Michael Mapps sent us a link to his new site, Torquay Pottery (www.torquaypottery.co.uk).
Created by collectors, its aim is "to increase further the knowledge of all pottery made in the Devon area between 1860 and 1980". Apart from a nice gallery of photos - which will rapidly dispel the stereotype of Torquay pottery as focusing on low-grade "Mottoware" souvenir knick-knacks - the includes a brief history of Torquay Pottery and a variety of articles and news useful to collectors.
The site augments the Torquay Potter Collectors Society site we mentioned previously.
