The Grade II* Listed pottery was built by Burgess & Leigh in the late 19th century and is the UK's last working Victorian potbank in continuous production. After 130 years it remains home to the world famous Burleigh pottery that is all made there onsite.
The pottery was saved from closure and through public and private funding, underwent substantial remodelling and reovation, transforming the pottery into a visitor attraction and centre for creative business.
