A modest gaff for a world leader.

The slighty French (European) appearance of the Keeling and Walker factory on the corner of Whieldon Road and Sutherland Street, Mount Pleasant in Stoke-on-Trent.
This factory dates back to the early twentieth century, and Keeling and walker became a limited company in 1916.
The business supplied chemicals to the local pottery industry evolving into a specialist producer of tin oxides for ceramic glazes and pigments.
They are now known as the world leader in the supply and world's largest producer of tin oxides to industry.
Their origins can be seen in the emblem carried over the window above the entrance.
A picture from 1963 shows terraced housing to the left of the offices in Sutherland Street a link to which can be seen here: www.search.staffspasttrack.org.uk/Details.aspx?&Resou...
