Learn all about Middleport Pottery as you explore its unique heritage site. Explore the original Victorian offices and learn about the people and events which have shaped the Pottery. Step back in time as you explore our mould store, housing Europe’s largest collection of ceramic moulds, and take an inside look at the Pottery’s huge bottle kiln, one of the few remaining in Stoke and an iconic reminder of the city’s great industrial heritage. Then cross the road over to Harper Street to visit the 1950's Lodge Keeper's house "How we lived at Harper Street."
Our team of friendly volunteers are on hand to answer any questions and bring the history to life.
