Description:The camera is looking south east along Roundwell Street from close to Clay Hills. Halfway down on the right is The Victoria Inn, on the corner of Plex Street. Opposite, off to the left is Hoover Street. Right at the bottom on the corner on the left is The White Hart public House with the Worthington brewery advert on the wall. At the bottom, Roundwell Street carries on round to the left, with Nash Peake Street to the right and Ladywell Road straight on. On the left edge, the tall, five storey building with the chimney is the old Oldcourt Pottery on Oldcourt Street and the large building just to the right is the Wolstanton School Board building on Forster Street.

On the right in the foreground is the Buckley's Pottery building, now demolished and replaced with housing. Frank Buckley was a decorator operating the Plex Street pottery during the 1930s and 40s. The company would bring in blanks from other pottery companies, such as Grindleys, and decorate them, usually in floral or art deco style.
