Oliver's Mill, Newport Lane, ST6 3NJ

Step inside one of Stoke-on-Trent’s remarkable surviving industrial buildings and discover the story of Oliver’s Mill – from the everyday working lives that supported the world-famous Potteries to ambitious plans for its future. The surviving mill buildings, kilns, engine house and chimney still tell the story of its industrial past, while the vast interiors retain much of their extraordinary scale and character. Years of vacancy have also taken their toll: roofs have failed, water has entered the buildings and parts of the site are no longer safely accessible. For Heritage Open Days 2026, Teapot Factory CIC is offering a rare opportunity to see Oliver’s Mill in its current state and hear about an ambitious new chapter in its story. Limited access to the inside of the Mill so will therefore be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis (2 tours of 10).
