More about Stoke-on-Trent Staffordshire
The city now named Stoke on Trent was officially born
on the 31st of March 1910, with the Fedration of the Six
Towns. This brought together the boroughs of Hanley,
Burslem, Longton and Stoke, together with the districts
of Tunstall and Fenton. Stoke was chosen as the seat of
power despite the fact that Hanley, and indeed Burslem,
had been far better established since Edwardian times.
The legacy of this union lives on undiminished, as
locals will refer to The Potteries, meaning the various
towns, rather than the official title of Stoke-on-Trent.
The Stoke-on-Trent area is known as the Potteries or the
Staffordshire Potteries thanks to the ceramics industry
in the city which dates back for hundreds of years.
The production of pottery dates back to at least the
17th century, and was founded on the areas abundant
supplies of clay; of salt and lead for glazing; and of
coal, used to fire the kilns. By the time Josiah
Wedgewood set up business for himself in 1759, the area
was supplying a wide variety of earthenware and
stoneware produced in and around the villages in the
area.
Pottery production was also in the process of changing
from a cottage-based industry to a factory based
industry, a transformation that placed the Potteries at
the forefront of the Industrial Revolution.
In 1769 Wedgwood himself built one of Britains first
large factories in Etruria, the village he established
on the outskirts of Burslem, his birthplace. Other
famous Staffordshire Potters, such as Joseph Spode I,
Thomas Minton, the Wood family Thomas Whieldon and
Joseph Spode II ensured that to this day Stoke-on-Trent
is an area synonymous with ceramics.
By the 19th century the villages of the Potteries had
grown into sizeable towns, of which Burslem was the
largest. Calls for them to be almalgamated into one
administrative unit began as early as 1817.
Administrative rationalisation began in 1857, when the
towns of Hanley and Shelton were combined into the
borough of Hanley.
In 1865 Longton and Long End became the borough of
Longton and in 1874 the towns of Stoke, Penkhull and
Boothen were brought together as the borough of Stoke.
Two other towns, Fenton and Tunstall gained urban
district status in the 1890s. In 1910 the process was
completed when Burslem, Hanley, Longton, Stoke, Fenton
and Tunstall were brought together to form the county
borough of Stoke-on-Trent, the largest ever amalgamation
ever to occur in Britain. In 1925 Stoke-on-Trent gained
city status.
These days Stoke-on-Trent is still the centre of the
British ceramic industry, and is the largest clayware
producer in the world. Other local industries include
chemical works, engineering plants, paper mills, textile
processing, electronics, rubber works and tyre
manufacture at Michelin.
Famous people from the City of Stoke-on-Trent include
writer Arnold Bennett, Titanic Captain EJ Smith,
Spitfire fighter plane designer Reginald Mitchell,
footballer Sir Stanley Matthews, spark plug inventor Sir
Oliver Lodge and of course the Prince of Pop, Robbie
Williams. |
