Find out about the engineers, navvies and canal carriers of The Potteries waterways with a tour around Etruria Junction and the Etruria Industrial Museum site. For 250 years Etruria has been the hub of the Potteries canal system. A place where canals were designed, built and maintained. A place where people worked and lived on the cut, where raw materials arrived and were processed, and where finished goods were dispatched across the world. Hosted by the Etruria Industrial Museum (with Shirley's Bone & Flint Mill in steam) and led by Potteries Heritage Society.
