This article appears in Volume V04, Page 863 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BURSLEM , a market town of
Staffordshire
 , England, in the Potteries
district
 , 150 M. N.W. from London, on the North
Staffordshire
  railway and the Grand Trunk Canal. Pop. (1891) 31,999; (1901) 38,766. In the 17th
century
  the town was already famous for its manufacture of pottery. Here Josiah Wedgwood was born in 1730, his family having practised the manufacture in this locality for several generations, while he himself began
work
  independently at the Ivy
House
  pottery in 1759. He is commemorated by the Wedgwood Institute, founded in 1863. It comprises a school of art, free library, museum, picture-gallery and the free school founded in 1794. The exterior is richly and peculiarly ornamented, to show the progress of fictile art. The neighbouring towns of Stoke, Hanley and Longton are connected with Burslem by tramways. Burslem is mentioned in Domesday. Previously to 1885 it formed
part
  of the
parliamentary
 
borough
  of Stoke, but it is now included in that of Hanley. It was included in the municipal
borough
  of Stoke-on-Trent under an act of 1908.
