Eric Knowles is now a well-known face in the world of antiques, particularly to viewers of the BBC's 'Antiques Road Show'. He appears to be one of those rare individuals who is able to share his considerable knowledge in a way that is exciting and easy to understand.
He continued: “I’m a staunch supporter of the regeneration of City, and I continue to arrange trips to area for fellow pottery enthusiasts. The event on May 1st will be a great opportunity to meet the people who have lived and worked in the area, and who knows we may unearth some early works from the big manufacturers in the City.”
