The old Museum?

A curious postcard, currently on eBay (not from me). The city of Stoke-on-Trent’s Museum and Art Gallery in an early view. It is a back view of the current one? It seems too small, and there would not be the distant views at either side. Perhaps there was something temporary in the city before the one that Prince Charles opened in Hanley, maybe as an annexe of a modernist secondary school in somewhere like Fenton?

Also, in the news today…. “Stoke-on-Trent City Archives has been officially opened at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, its new home.” It was up in the now-defunct City Central Library tower-block.
