Several web sites are of interest to fans of Lancastrian pottery.

Requesting a search under "Royal Lancastrian" usually results in several AUCTION sites being listed - though we find they are often out of date.

Sites of a more informative nature are:-
 

1. Peter Scott Gallery at Lancaster University - - See the John Chambers Room page.   John Chamber's Room via the links pages http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/peterscott/ceramics.htm

2. Aberystwyth offers an interesting ceramics web site which whilst it does not specifically detail Pilkington's is worth visiting on  http://www.aber.ac.uk/~mov/index.html
 
3. For general information on antiques members may wish to try Antiques World which includes a directory of collectors clubs including Pilkington's Lancastrian Pottery Society. (http://www.antiquesworld.co.uk/)

4. Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums has an interesting general ceramic site which members may wish to visit. Click here.

5. The Gladstone Pottery Museum is an excellent general site with information on ceramics and cermic history and well worth a surf.  Click here.

6. TILES - TILES TILES - The website of  TACS  - the Tiles and Architectural Ceramics Society is excellent.

7. Salford is the local focus for Swinton events.  Salford maintains 2 sites of interest to members.  The first links to Salford Museum and Art Gallery and is of interest because it provides opening times etc and a local map. (Also useful because it links to a general UK tourist service.) This is at  http://www.aboutbritain.com/SalfordMuseum.htm
Salford's local history project is called the LifeTimes project aand is concerned with capturing local histories from local people.
This can be found at  http://www.lifetimes.org.uk/salford.htm

	These marks are classic for the first period.  1903/4.  An impressed P is visible and a transfer print shows the Pilkington P and the two Burton "Bees"
	This base is from the post 1905 period.  The Pilkington/Burton logo is present but note the shape number and the date in Roman Numerals.
	This base is unusual but shows some very typical marks following the award of the Royal warrant. The artist's mark for W.S.Mycock is clear. Also clear is the design symbol for Walter Crane.  Lastly the "tudor" rose and Royal Lancastrian marks are visible.
