Description:The 'Corridor of Ceramics', also known as the Long Gallery.

This was the site of the first museum at Barlaston, although there had been a previous museum at the Etruria factory since 1906.

The Long Gallery was operational from the 1950s, until it was replaced by the new Museum and Visitor Centre complex in September 1975.
