Wicket-keeper Bob Taylor, who played for Derbyshire and England was born and still lives in the area. As part of the city's regeneration, a new bus station has been constructed in Hanley, allowing the old one to be demolished, making room for further redevelopment.

Mike Wolfe, an independent candidate, became the first directly elected mayor after an election on 17 October 2002, narrowly beating Labour Party candidate George Stevenson by just 300 votes. The cream tea was amazing and I couldn’t finish the Eton Mess and three bits of cake which is of unheard for me. My favourite had to be the new Game Bird collection which would look just at home in any countryside kitchen.
In this case, the conurbation is bigger than Stoke itself, because the urban area of Stoke is contiguous with that of administratively-separate Newcastle. Etruria Industrial Museum on the Caldon Canal, and Gladstone Pottery Museum in a former potbank in Longton are dedicated to the city's industrial heritage. Unlike Stoke City, their local rivals in the Potteries derby, they have never played top division football and hold the record for most years spent in the second tier without ever playing in the first. The club was based at the Victoria Ground in Stoke-upon-Trent from 1878 until 1997, when it moved to the Britannia Stadium (now the Bet365 Stadium) at Trentham Lakes.Although Trentham Gardens is in the Borough of Stafford, it is just south of the city and is considered by many locals to be part of Stoke-on-Trent.
The local area is a little more elevated than much of Staffordshire and Cheshire, resulting in cooler temperatures year round compared to the nearby Cheshire Plain.Sport [ edit ] Football [ edit ] Stoke City's Bet365 Stadium, opened in 1997, has a 30,089 capacity. In his novels, Bennett wrote about local events in the 19th century [148] and consistently changed all proper names and associations, thus Hanley became Hanbridge and Burslem became Bursley.

His father, Anthony Hudson, was from the area, and he spent a few of his early childhood years living in the city before moving to his mother's native United States in 1970. As I discovered later in the design studio painting my own piece, my patience would have resulted in a bucket load of clay in the recycling bin…The designs have set patterns and numbers, so the painters were wearing headphones to aid concentration and keep the second’s pile to a minimum.
They believe the things we treasure most reflect the stories of our lives: they have the power to make every day lovely and fill our hearts and homes with spots of joy. Saul Hudson, the lead guitarist for Guns N' Roses better known by his stage name " Slash", was born in Stoke-on-Trent. The city's acute hospital is the Royal Stoke University Hospital run by the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust. I witnessed one of my uncles, my cousin, and my grandfather, on his very first trip to London from Stoke, down every drop of liquor in our dressing room.
