It is 100 years since the North Staffordshire Railway was taken over by the London Midland and Scottish Railway. A short film sequence of steam engines running on the extensive rail network will be shown in the canal warehouse and a 30-minute film of the Industries and Railway of Etruria in the canal check office.
