Etruria Industrial Museum, Industrial museum in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Description
Etruria Industrial Museum is a mill from the 1800s in Stoke-on-Trent where visitors can see working machinery and a restored steam engine from the 1820s. The building displays the full range of equipment used to process materials for pottery factories in the region.
History
The mill was built in the early 1800s as a processing facility at the heart of England's pottery industry. It became central to the region's industrial boom and was eventually preserved as a museum to maintain knowledge of traditional craft methods.
Culture
The museum demonstrates traditional methods of bone and flint grinding, essential processes in the creation of fine English pottery and ceramics.
