The Lunar Men is of huge interest to the Potteries and particularly Burslem as one of the Lunar places, particularly as one of its founding members was Burslem born and bred Josiah Wedgwood.
Jenny Uglow's fascinating book about the friends largely based in the Midlands in the 18th century who changed the future of Britain forever, know as The Lunar Men because they were able to travel to meet each other by the light of the full moon.
