© 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., at the Heanor Miners’ Welfare, Ilkeston Road, Heanor (map). Please note that the meetings on 12th April and 10th May 2010 will be held at the Wilmot Street Centre, Heanor (map). The meetings include illustrated talks on numerous subjects related to Langley Mill pottery and generally alternate with either a Members’ Evening, when a particular Langley Ware is discussed in detail, or the Annual Auction.

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. A sample of typical pages from the Newsletter can be viewed in our by clicking on The Windmill button.
