Power in the Potteries: Energy Exhibition
Etruria Industrial Museum, Etruria Vale Road, Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST1 4RB
To celebrate the City of Stoke-on-Trent's Centenary, Etruria Industrial Museum is hosting this exhibition and other events to highlight the City's transition from dirty to cleaner energy and from industrial grime to clean air and reclaimed landscapes. In 1925 coal was the main source of primary energy. A combination of displays and talks will show the progress that has been made in the last 100 years.
The main exhibition will be open on Wednesday and Thursday (17th & 18th Sep) and continue throughout the weekend (20th & 21st Sep) when the museum opens its doors for free for Heritage Open Days.
The Power of the Potteries exhibition, presentations and walks have been developed to celebrate the City's Centenary and are supported by Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the Heritage Fund. Thanks to players of the National Lottery.
