DIRTY LAUNDRY by Deborah McAndrew
His daughter, Nora, does her best to keep him clean and comfortable, but Stoke-on-Trent in the 1950s is not a clean or comfortable place – and Rueben Moth is not at peace.
Take a fresh look at the evolution of Stoke and the circumstances that led a tiny hamlet to become a world centre for ceramics. We will follow the Trent & Mersey Canal to Etruria Junction and the Caldon Canal to Hanley Park.
Have you ever wondered why some places are successful and others not? Why some places attract visitors and businesses while others have declined? Why some places feel safe and others decidedly dodgy? This afternoon stroll around Tunstall will look at the qualities that make good places and poke fun at the real world.
Open 5th and 6th August.
During steaming weekends the mill will be open from 10:30 until 16:30 and in steam from 12.30 with the engine starting on the hour. Guided tours commence at 20 minutes past the preceding hour. Please be in the engine house 10 minutes before each steaming starts.
