The Burslem School of Art on Queen Street, Burslem, the original "Mother Town" of the Potteries is a grade II listed building, designed by A.R. Wood and opened in 1907, some of the work to the facade was supplied by Doultons.
The foundation stone states: "The foundation stone of this building was laid by the right honourable the Earl of Dartmouth,
Lord Lieutenant of the County of Stafford.
9th February 1906."
An educational establishment to many luminaries of the ceramics and art worlds, notable figures like; Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper and Charles Tomlinson learned their craft in this building.
Apparently Queen Street gets its name from the ware designed by Wedgwood for Queen Charlotte in 1765.
The potbank of Moorland Pottery on Moorland Road, Burslem in Staffordshire.
This grade II listed structure dates back to around the start of the twentieth century and was orginally thought to have been named the Chelsea Pottery, although there was apparently a potbank on this site dating back to 1880.
To the rear of the building is one of the few remaining bottle kilns left in the area, this one being somewhat special, being an experimental four chamber muffle design kiln with a circular hovel on a square base, built by Royal Doulton in 1910.
This works has been home to Susie Cooper and Studio Szeiler Ltd, although now renowned for its Stokie Mugs and Teapots range.
The building to the right which has been renovated is the old Staffordshire Potteries Stipendiary Commission, Magistrates Office with its ornate pediment.
I'm really not quite sure that any of Burslem, other than the pubs, is open 7 days a week!
