Where would you go?
The walking around Stoke-on-Trent is pretty amazing. I know the area because it is where our factories are. Staffordshire is very little-known and it’s marvellous. At the moment I’m walking in Trentham Park – it’s not exactly a pilgrimage but sort of is because Stoke is a holy grail to me. When I first came here in 1984, everyone else was leaving and the factories were closing. All these derelict factories totally grabbed me. I felt compelled to keep coming back and I wanted to make one of these factories busy again with people coming and going and the kilns flaring. I’ve been here ever since.
