Wedgwood Memorial College

[2] Wedgwood Memorial College had a non-circulating library with 15,000 volumes available for research and private study.

[4] One of these rooms is the Montagu C. Butler Library, located in Esperanto House on the grounds of the college.

The building was endangered by coal mining operations and a geological fault, which caused major diagonal cracks in the walls.

Between 1960 and 2011, the last opportunity prior to its 2012 closure, Wedgwood Memorial College offered a week-long Esperanto summer school every August.

This came about partly through the influence of Horace Barks, the Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, who was an advocate of Esperanto.
