The significance of the river, railway and availability of raw materials
to the development of the tile industry in this area are told in this
recently renovated exhibition.
Once this area was the largest manufacturer of ceramic tiles in the
world. This site now houses Jackfield Tile Museum as well as a working factory.
See both practical and decorative uses of tiles in settings ranging from
a church to a living room, butcher's shop, underground station,
hospital and public house. Including some of the best floor and wall
tiles produced at the height of their popularity.
Workshops show production techniques from medieval to modern
times.
