Built as a house but used as a store.

The Red House on Chadwick Street in Normacot, Longton, part of the conurbation that is Stoke-on-Trent, was built as a domestic dwelling but became absorbed into the potbanks belonging to the Gladstone Works and Roslyn Works and subsequently became used as a store.

Dating back to the 1840's this grade II listed building now forms part of the Gladstone Pottery Museum complex, a popular tourist atttraction helping to keep the traditions of the city alive, and is home to seven of the remaining forty seven bottle kilns left in the "The Potteries".

This is the venue for the television programme "The Great Pottery Throw Down".
