Stoke-on-Trent
Gladstone Pottery Museum.
Between the 18th and the 20th centuries there were several pottery plants in Staffordshire, mostly in Stoke-on-Trent. Their number decreased and this one ceased regular production in 1960. In 1974 it reopened as a museum, where you can see how production was carried out. It is located between Uttoxeter Road and Chadwick Street, Stoke-on-Trent.
