A tourist sign is to be changed after potter Josiah Wedgwood's name was spelt incorrectly.
A road sign featuring a misspelling of potter Josiah Wedgwood's name was erected in Stoke-on-Trent.
The brown tourist sign is on the A53 at Etruria and directs people to the former Wedgwood and Doulton Outlet. However, Wedgwood was spelt with an additional "e", prompting Staffordshire council to say it would be amended. Councillor David Williams said: "This looks to be an old sign, but as it is on the edge of our network we will look to get it rectified."
Josiah Wedgwood was born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1730, and was an innovative designer, a manufacturer of high-quality pottery and a campaigner for social reform.Follow BBC West Midlands on
