Buckley – Potteries and Patter



Buckley town today
© BBC

Buckley’s surrounding countryside provided the town with a valuable combination of natural resources that sustained its earthenware, mining and brick-making industries for over 500 years. Although these industries fell into decline through mass production elsewhere, a legacy remains in the regional dialect that is still remembered and spoken today.
