The local area guide to living in Stoke on Trent

Stoke on Trent is the most prominent city in the area of Staffordshire of the north of England and is formed by the boroughs of Burslem, Hanley, Stoke and Longton, as well as the districts of Fenton and Tunstall. These areas are known collectively as ‘the Potteries’, a celebration of the area’s importance as a producer of some of the world’s best ceramics.

The city has a very strong industrial heritage, with coal mining being particularly prominent in the history of the area. During the 1940s there were more than 20,000 people working in the collieries and, though all the mines are now closed – the last being Trentham Superpit in 1994 – the evidence of this proud industrial past can be seen in the slag heaps that are still visible in the city skyline.

The architecture of Stoke on Trent is a mix of simple worker’s cottages and the larger, better appointed houses that were built for factory owners. Iron and steel works used to be major employers in the area, but this industry mostly ceased by the 1970s, and now distribution centres and the service industry are the biggest sources of employment. Though Stoke on Trent might sound like a prime example of the industrialised north, it is actually a very beautiful city, and one third of it is green space. It also enjoys a reputation as being home to the Northern Soul movement that became prominent in the seventies and still has a lively nightclub scene.
