Gladstone Pottery Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Longton, United Kingdom.
The Gladstone Pottery Museum presents a complete Victorian pottery factory with multiple coal-fired bottle kilns and traditional manufacturing equipment from the industrial era.
The site began as a pottery factory in 1787 under the Shelley family, later renamed after William Ewart Gladstone, and transformed into a museum in 1974.
The museum maintains collections of over 800 ceramic items and features the Tile Gallery, displaying numerous decorative tiles that represent British architectural heritage.
The museum offers pottery workshops, guided tours, and hands-on activities, with adult tickets at £8.50 and children's tickets at £5.95, including access to all exhibitions.
The facility houses a dedicated gallery called 'Flushed with Pride' that documents the development of bathroom fixtures through ceramic manufacturing history.
