  • Wilmslow Dfas
    Please retain this form for your information The Arts Society, Wilmslow Gladstone Pottery Museum & Ford Green Hall Thursday, March 19th, 2020 The Gladstone Pottery Museum is a Grade ll listed, working museum of a medium-sized coal-fired pottery, typical of those once common in North Staffordshire during the industrial revolution in the 18th century to the mid 20th century. The Gladstone is a complex of buildings from two works, the Gladstone and the Roslyn. The kilns, of which there are less than 50 surviving bottle ovens in Stoke- on-Trent and only a scattering elsewhere in the UK, are protected. The museum is centred on the Roslyn pottery with its two biscuit ovens, two larger glost ovens and two enamel kilns. A tandem compound steam engine by Marshall & Sons, of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire is in place but is now turned by an electric motor. The museum allows the visitor to explore the bottle kilns and exhibits, the principal ancillary rooms: the engine house, the slip room, saggar making workshop. It shows aspects of working with clay- including hands on displays of throwing, moulding and decorating. Colour and gilding is presented as interpretive panels. Galleries explain the history of the tile (pressing, glazing, decoration) and the history of sanitary ware, privies, earth closets and water closets. Gladstone was not a famous pottery but was typical of hundreds of similar factories making everyday ceramic items for the mass market Ford Green Hall is a Grade II listed farmhouse and historic house museum. The oldest parts of the house date from the late 16th century, with one wing being either added or greatly repaired at some point in the early 18th century.
