Description

Stoke-upon-Trent's transformation from a small village to a thriving industrial centre is revealed in this engaging history. By the 1820s and 1830s, the town had grown rapidly, with new buildings, streets, and industries emerging alongside its famous pottery manufacturers. The story of Stoke is one of contrasts, as the town's fortunes rose and fell over the years. From the influence of the North Staffordshire Railway Company to the rise of entertainment venues and public houses, Stoke-upon-Trent was a vibrant community that struggled to adapt in the latter half of the 20th century. This book takes a nostalgic look back at Stoke's more prosperous times, exploring its history from the early 19th century to the present day.
