A beautiful design to aid beautiful design!

Designed in honour of the famous potter Herbert Minton, The Herbert Minton building sits on the corner of London Road and Spark Street in the centre of the town of Stoke, part of the conurbation that makes up Stoke-on-Trent.

Designed in an Italian-Gothic style by Pugin and Murray and opened in 1853, this building operated for many years as a school of art for the budding potters and ceramicists of the Potteries. The building was known as the Stoke School of Science and Art.

More recently the building became a home to the NHS Stoke-on-Trent Clinical Commissioning Group but now belongs to Redeemed Christian Church of God and acts as a "Redemption Community Hub".

This building is grade II listed and along with the rest of the town is listed on the English Heritage at Risk Register as a conservation area.
