John Rose Building, Coalport
John Rose Building, Coalport
The Coalport China Works has now become the Coalport China Museum.
The works were opened by John Rose in 1795 and Coalport China was produced there until production moved to Staffordshire in 1926. By 1976 the factory, which had been used for making exhaust pipes was virtually derelict.
It was acquired by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust who restored the building and opened the Coalport China Museum, which went on to win the European Museum of the Year Award.
