🇬🇧 Gladstone Pottery Museum | A Day Trip to Stoke’s Ceramic Gem 🏺✨
Located in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, this museum is part of the European Route of Industrial Heritage. 🏭 Its protected structures include historic bottle kilns—a rare sight today! 🔹 Why It’s Special? With fewer than 50 bottle kilns left in Stoke-on-Trent (and only a handful elsewhere in the UK), the museum’s kilns—along with others in the Longton Conservation Area—make up a significant portion of the nation’s remaining industrial heritage. 🏗️💎 ⚠️ Fun Fact: Stoke-on-Trent was the heart of Britain’s pottery industry—so this place is a must-visit for history & craft lovers! 🎨❤️ #PotteryLovers #IndustrialHeritage #UKMuseums #StokeOnTrent #HistoryBuff #DayTripIdeas #LifeInUK 🚂
