Keeping the spirit of the Potteries alive!
The Gladstone Pottery Museum on the corner of Uttoxeter Road and Chadwick Street in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.
The museum comprises the remains of two old potbanks, Gladstone Works, built in and around 1860 (to the right of shot) and Roslyn Works (Park Place (Roslyn) Works (to the left of shot) completed at around the end of the nineteenth century. These two old pottery manufacturers premises are grade II* listed and contain seven of the remaining bottle kilns surviving in Stoke-on-Trent. Parts of the site date back to an earlier time and pottery was thought to have been being manufactured on this corner dating back to the late eighteenth century.
Also attached to the site are, the White House (centre shot) an old house which became a shop and dates back to the late eighteenth century, and the Red House (the building behind the tree), a former dwelling dating back to around 1840, both of which are grade II listed.
The narrow kiln to the right of the White House is a decorating (muffle) kiln.
This is the venue for the television programme "The Great Pottery Throw Down".
