The focus of Eturia Industrial Museum is Jesse Shirley's Bone & Flint Mill, built in 1857 to grind materials for the pottery and agricultural industries. It is situated at the junction of the Trent & Mersey and Caldon canals.

The mill ceased production in 1972 with the process and machinery virtually unchanged. The historic machinery is still in working order and on selected weekends the steam engine can be seen in operation.
