Wedgwood Institute, Queen Street, Burslem, Stoke On Trent
A photographic copy of an architect's drawing for the Wedgwood Institute showing an elevation of the facade of the building. This does not show the institute as built in 1869. Original plans for the building were prepared by G B Nichols of Wolverhampton but were modified by Robert Egar and J. Lockwood Kipling. It was built as a library and school for arts and sciences. It was funded entirely by public subscription from 1859 onward. It was named after the potter Josiah Wedgwood. It stands on the site of the former Brick House pottery works which Wedgwood had rented from 1762 to 1770.
