EDITORIAL

As guest editor for this issue of the Buckley Society's Magazine, I am convinced more than ever that the Society is one of the most active and flourishing in our county of Clwyd. The high standard of the articles submitted bear evident indication of this, while the account of the excavations of the Clay Industries Research Committee, which has close links with the Buckley Society, reveals the important work which is currently being undertaken to fill in the gaps in our knowledge of the history of the Buckley potteries. The Society deserves the support and encouragement of all interested in the past of this unique area, and I hope that more people, after reading this Magazine, will be persuaded to join, attend meetings, and perhaps assist in the excavations.

The Buckley Society and the newly formed Museum Trust are working for the establishment of a museum in the town where pottery and records of Buckley's heritage can be displayed for the benefit of all interested in its history.

I have relied very much on the pioneering work of Mr J.E.Messham, the editor and printer of the previous three issues. The Buckley Society is greatly in his debt for launching this publication so successfully. Pressure of work has forced him to relinquish the editorship, but it is hoped that he will be persuaded to reappear in these pages as a contributor. Thanks are also due to Mr Nefyl Williams of Gwasg y Berllan for his printing skills and for ably interpreting my hieroglyphics, and to Mr K.Lloyd Gruffydd for assisting with the editorial work and so helping to make it a pleasurable experience.
