The Langley Mill Pottery Collectors' Society

The Society was formed by a group of local enthusiastic collectors in March 1992 in Heanor, Derbyshire - less than two miles from the original pottery site.  Since then the membership has steadily increased  with members in all parts of the United Kingdom and as far away as New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States of America.

Monthly meetings continue to be held in Heanor, usually on the second Monday of the month, starting at 7.30 p.m.  They include illustrated talks on numerous subjects related to Langley Mill pottery and generally alternate with either a Members' Evenings, when a particular Langley Ware is discussed in detail, or the Annual Auction, or the Sales Table.  A visit to a pottery is usually arranged in May.

The Society also publishes a newsletter twice a year called 'The Windmill', which contains information about the Langley Mill pottery, its wares, coloured photographs, and articles contributed by both members and non-members.  Click the Newsletter button for typical pages from the newsletter.
