Abstract: In a paper in an earlier volume of Environment and Planning A Imrie argues that in the 1980s the British pottery industry was restructuring in various ways, not least towards some form of Fordism, post-Fordism, Japanese-style production, and internationalisation. In this paper it is argued that, first, developments are not new to the industry; second, the empirical basis of Imrie's argument is limited; third, some trends have actually been in contradictory directions. In sum, rather than an example of simple change, the pottery industry represents both continuity and change in many respects.
