About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

Middleport Pottery, situated on the Trent and Mersey Canal in Stoke-on-Trent, was built by Burgess and Leigh in the late nineteenth century. The Grade II* listed Pottery is the UK’s last working Victorian potbank in continuous production. After 130 years, Middleport Pottery remains home to world-famous ‘Burleigh’ pottery. Through public and private funding, Middleport Pottery was saved from closure and underwent substantial remodelling and renovation, transforming it into a visitor attraction and centre for creative businesses. Middleport Pottery is now an award-winning visitor destination based in the heart of the potteries, featuring heritage trails, factory tours, tea room, on-site creative studios, the Clay College Gallery and the Burleigh Factory Shop.
