Stoke-on-Trent is a city in Staffordshire, England. Known as The Potteries and is the home of the pottery industry in the United Kingdom. Formed in 1910 from six towns, the city has almost 200 listed buildings within the city. Many of these are connected with the pottery industry and the people involved with it.
