Brief description
https://www.stoke.gov.uk/directory_record/331243/roslyn_works : "Classic Victorian ceramics factory complete with bottle kilns in the courtyard where there are 16-studio/workshop spaces ranging from 17 metres squared to 47 metres squared.
Gladstone Pottery Museum is the only complete Victorian pottery factory from the days when coal burning ovens made the world's finest bone china. Demonstrations of traditional skills, original workshops, the cobbled yard and huge bottle ovens transport visitors back in time. There is the opportunity to have a go at throwing a pot, making a china flower for decorating pottery"
