Etruria Hall

Etruria Hall, located in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, is a Grade II listed building that served as the home of renowned potter Josiah Wedgwood from 1768 to the 1840s. Designed by Joseph Pickford in a neo-classical style, the hall features intricate ceilings and ornamental details, some attributed to notable figures like John Flaxman and possibly William Blake. The site is historically significant for its association with early photography research by Thomas Wedgwood. After changing hands in the 19th century, Etruria Hall was restored and incorporated into a hotel, now part of the Hilton DoubleTree chain, showcasing Wedgwood family history and pottery. Visitors can explore its architectural beauty and historical significance, making it a unique destination for tourists and researchers alike.
