Royal Mail is a postal company in the United Kingdom. The company now called Royal Mail was founded in 1516 and was the state postal company until 1969.

Staffordshire Pottery
The Staffordshire Potteries is the industrial area comprising the six towns of Burslem, Fenton, Hanley, Longton, Stoke and Tunstall, which now form the town of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. North Staffordshire became a centre of ceramics production in the early 17th century, thanks to the local availability of clay, salt, lead and coal.

By the late 18th century, North Staffordshire was Britain's largest producer of ceramics, despite important centres elsewhere. Major export markets brought Staffordshire pottery around the world, especially in the 19th century.
