Welcome to The Gladstone Pottery Museum Story

Welcome to The Gladstone Pottery Museum Story - celebrating the long and fascinating history of the Working Pottery Museum, in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent which opened, officially, on 24 April 1975. This was one of the first museums, in the world, to embrace the 'working museum' concept, and was a major pioneer in UK museums.

Forty years later, and as busy as ever, Gladstone Working Pottery Museum is a major visitor attraction in the UK and is one of the 'Jewels in the Crown' of  The Potteries.
