The Potty Porcelain Puzzle - A Treasure Hunt Through Stoke

Legend has it that the famous potter, Josiah Spode, used to dispose of his failed porcelain and bone china creations in secret clay pits around Stoke-on-Trent. These pits, if found, would be a treasure trove of archaeological wonders. However, after Josiah's death, all records and maps of the pits mysteriously vanished, along with the miners who worked there. But now, a map has resurfaced, and it's up to the bravest members of the Exploration Society to solve the clues, eliminate false sites, and uncover the hidden pottery pieces. Are YOU up for the challenge?
