GLADSTONE POTTERY MUSEUM ;- StaffordshireGLADSTONE POTTERY MUSEUM
Uttoxeter Road
Longton
Stoke on Trent
Staffordshire
One of the custodians here told Julian Dunn of BBC Radio 2, in 1978 that up to a few weeks earlier he had dismissed the idea of ghost as `ridiculous`. But one evening, about 5.45, he was checking through the building to make sure no visitors had accidentally been locked in, when he noticed the figure of an old man near one of the benches. 'He was grey-haired with side whiskers and wearing a short brown coat, like a smock. I called out to him, pointing out that we were closed and he faded away. I found it hard to believe what I had seen'. Later, however, the official checked with other members of the staff and learnt that some of them has also seen the phantom. Even a late visitor pointed out that 'there's an old chap still in there'. When he left the building, but nothing was found. The first witness believes that the old gentleman is one of the former pottery craftsmen who originally worked in the early Victorian Potbank in which the museum is housed
