New Brick and Tile Display In Museum
Brick and Tile manufacture is an important part of our local industrial heritage, but is often overshadowed by the more glamourous pottery industry. Our new display, by Gordon Howle and Ken Perkins, provides an insight into the Brick and Tile industry in North Staffordshire. Chesteron has been involved in brick making for well over a century so it is particularly appropriate that we are able to include this exhibit in our museum.
Christmas and New Year Opening 2008
We would like to wish everyone who has visited us over the past year a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and hope to see you again in 2009.
The centre will be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing day, but is open as usual throughout the rest of the holiday.
About
This special attraction was created at the site of Staffordshire's Apedale Mine, one of the last working coal mines in Staffordshire. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff are always there to help you enjoy a time of discovery and exploration of Apedale Valley's important contribution to the economy and culture of generations of Staffordshire people. During your visit you can experience our underground mine tours , see our free, interesting and informative Museum, and relax in our welcoming café and gift shop.
The centre is set in the unique landscape of Apedale Country Park, near to the village of Chesterton. The site is also home to the Moseley Railway Trust's collection of narrow gauge industrial locomotives.
We are open every day from 10:30am to 4:00pm, although mine tours are only run at the weekend and Bank Holidays.
