Mill 'in steam' - Heritage Open Day
14-15 September, 1:00pm - 4:30 pm
Etruria Industrial Museum
Lower Bedford Street, Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST4 7AF
Come along and see Jesse Shirley's Etruscan Bone and Flint Mill in action powered by the mighty 1820s Steam Powered Beam Engine 'Princess'. Experience the sights and sounds of Victorian engineering in the heart of the Potteries. There are "steamings" every hour on the hour, where they connect the furnace to the engine and make it run. Noisy, and interesting, for young people and older people too.
Located next to the canal (which makes for a pleasant walk) so you'll see plenty of barges moving along. There's a good visitor centre, which often has child-friendly activities - colouring, craft and so on.
Other events take place during the weekends and through the year. See www.friendsofetruriamuseum.org.uk for more details.
