Etruria Hall in Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England was the home of the potter Josiah Wedgwood. It was built between 1768–1771 by Joseph Pickford.
Etruria Hall was the site of the innovative research into photography by Thomas Wedgwood in the 1790s. There is a small commemorative plaque on the Hall.
Due to financial difficulties, it was sold in the 1840s by Francis Wedgwood.
The house was restored as part of the 1986 Stoke-on-Trent Garden Festival and is now part of a four-star Moat House hotel. It is near the site of the Etruria Works, which has been redeveloped.
Famous quotes containing the word hall:
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
