Description:The City Museum & Art Gallery was officially opened by Alderman Horace Barks on the 13th October 1956. Built on the site of the Bell Pottery works, this image shows the area before additions were made to the building in the early 1980’s.
On the corner of Broad Street and George Street, now called Warner Street, is the Bell public house. In the top left of the picture is the old water rates office, Bethesda Chapel, Bethesda Sunday school and the Victoria Hall. These buildings stand today outside the main entrance to The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery.
