Gladstone Pottery Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gladstone Pottery Museum is a working museum of a medium sized pottery, typical of those once common in the North Staffordshire area of England from the time of the industrial revolution in the 18th century (a pottery factory first opened on the site in 1787) to the mid 20th century. It is an Anchor Point of ERIH, The European Route of Industrial Heritage.
The museum first opened in 1974 having been saved from demolition in 1970 when it closed some ten years after its bottle ovens were last fired.
It is located in Longton, Staffordshire.
