Salford Museum and Art Gallery holds a fantastic collection of Pilkington’s Lancastrian Pottery which was made at the Clifton factory in Salford.
The items span almost the entire history of the factory from 1889 to 2008 and is evidence of one of the most successful and longest surviving of the British art potteries founded in the late Victorian period.
A selection of items are on permanent display in the North Gallery here at Salford Museum and Art Gallery, and appointments can be made to view the reserve collection and archive.
We are delighted that, with funding from Booth Charities, we have been able to complete the documentation of the archive, conserve tile designs, run workshops and activities to engage people in the collection and produce an online searchable database of the ceramic collection.
