A privately-owned museum documenting the history of ceramic tiles.
Jackfield Tile Museum is a museum which presents the history of the British decorative tile industry between 1840 and 1960, the period in which this factory and that of Maw & Co nearby played an important part in this industry. The museum lies in the village of Jackfield, near Broseley, on the south bank of the River Severn in the Ironbridge Gorge, in Shropshire, England. It is located within a World Heritage Site, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. It is managed by the National Trust and is one of the ten museums to be acquired from the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in 2026.
