Railways of Etruria exhibition and memorabilia in the Canal Warehouse.  One of the first railways in the area was horse drawn tramway running from the Trent and Mersey canal at Etruria to Hanley.  When the North Staffordshire Railway Company was formed in 1845, they took over the canals. It is 100 years since the North Staffordshire Railway was taken over by the London Midland and Scottish Railway. A short film sequence of steam engines running on the extensive rail network will be shown in the canal warehouse and a 30-minute film of the Industries and Railway of Etruria in the canal check office.

Blacksmith demonstrations will be taking place in the Forge – plus Shirley’s 1857 Bone & Flint Mill  ‘In Steam’ will be operating from 12.30pm to 4.30pm allowing for visitors to experience a Potters’ Mill operating as in Victorian times.
