Etruria and the Industrial Museum in Steam
What better way can there be but to arrive in Stoke on Trent by narrowboat in a similar way that raw materials arrived to fuel the pottery industry of Stoke on Trent in a bygone age. Having thrown a pot at the Wedgewood factory in Barlaston we travel north to Etruria to explore a little more of our industrial heritage at the Jesse Shirley's Bone and Flint Mill. A big thank you to the volunteers at Etruria Industrial Museum for allowing me to record this clip. The museum is only occasionally in steam and relies on visitors and charitable support.

princess steam engine (Etruria Industrial Museum )
The Etruria Industrial Museum is located in Etruria, Staffordshire in England. Located along the Caldon Canal, the museum is a Grade II* listed building which includes a working steam engine called Princess.[1][2] The museum buildings were originally a bone and flint mill built in 1857 to grind materials for the pottery industry. Inside visitors can see displays on the history of the site and original machinery. After a period of restoration, started in 1978, the museum was opened by Fred Dibnah in 1991.[3]
On the first weekend of each month the museum's 1903 coal-fired boiler provides steam to operate Princess which then turns the grinding machinery.[citation needed]
The Etruria Canals Festival takes place annually at Etruria Industrial Museum on the first weekend in June.[citation needed

Spode works Stoke 1930
These are scenes taken at the Spode factory in Stoke-on-Trent around 1932. It’s typical of many items in the Film Archive showing the pottery industry. Films began to be made at this time to promote the sale of pottery – particularly abroad. It was the height of the Depression, and so there was a reason for these films to be made. And they show all the processes of pottery making from the arrival of materials through to the finished goods going out. There are some valuable glimpses here of girls carrying unfired ware to be put into saggars (or safeguards) so that they can be fired in the bottle oven. And here we see the placer placing the ware into a saggar, which is then carried on his head and stacked inside the bottle oven ready for firing. The safeguards – or saggars – are to keep the flame off the ware so that it’s baked inside these protective fireclay cases, This is the era of coal firing.
This film also features in the documentary; “Stoke-on-Film, 1930s”, produced by Ray Johnson.
