Wedgwood Memorial College information


Wedgwood Memorial College was a small residential college in Barlaston, near Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. The college was owned and operated by Stoke-on-Trent City Council until it was closed down by the council in March 2012.[1] It still[when?] houses the centre of Esperanto education at Estoril House.[citation needed]

There is also a similarly named building in Burslem, the Wedgwood Institute, which is sometimes called the "Wedgwood Memorial Institute". This is a completely separate institution.

The college, a member of the Adult Residential Colleges Association, offered short courses in literature and languages (French, German and Esperanto); political science and history; and art, art history and architectural history.[2] Wedgwood Memorial College had a non-circulating library with 15,000 volumes available for research and private study.[3]

The buildings were also rented out for weddings, parties and small conferences, with eight rooms available that accommodated from ten to 40 people per room.[4] One of these rooms is the Montagu C. Butler Library, located in Esperanto House on the grounds of the college.
