EnglandsBuildings's video: Coalport China Factory Shropshire 11 06 15

Coalport was home to an important pottery founded in 1795 by John Rose. It produced Coalport porcelain which became popular worldwide. The building it was initially produced in is now a Youth Hostel and café. Production later moved across the canal to the buildings which are now the Coalport China Museum. Production moved to Staffordshire in 1926, and, although the Coalport name was retained as a brand, the company subsequently became part of the world famous Wedgwood group. The Coalport China Factory has magnificent listed buildings that hold the exquisite National Collections of Coalport and Caughley China. These buildings were home to the famous Coalport China Factory until 1926, see inside the distinctive bottle-shaped chimneys of the two surviving bottle ovens.
