@@rjhtrucking5429 I mean it doesn’t look like this anymore there’s no rain ways going through Hanley and there’s only like one pottery chimney that I know in Hanley, it’s crazy how this history has been forgotten

@@suzannaw3282 do you ever go to the basement bar in Hanley. Me and a few friends used to put house music nights on there.

@@rjhtrucking5429 I don’t usually club in Hanley it’s not safe at all I stay in Newcastle when it comes to drinking. But I’ve been to basement twice it was a very good night

+chris jones The Place Nightclub in Hanley? I used to go there in the 80's. Good days. Live in wales now.

Did you go chicos

yes it's getting worse not better

only coz council chuck money their way

I don't know where its trying. It's a s__t hole.

Peter Smith my dad and his family moved out here to Australia in the late 60's.

@@humbug4478 At a guess that was the time Oz was so desperate for labour they were offering a ticket for just £10. It was only one way though!

@@Bulletguy07 they called them ten pound poms , yes indeed ! As far as I know they never wanted to go back , my grandparents found it too hot in Parramatta west of Sydney so moved to the Blue mountains.

@@humbug4478 Yeah I went along to a recruitment thing once but my wife didn't want to go. We're divorced now! It works for some, but not all. I used to work with a woman who with her husband and children had moved out to live in Oz, not just once, but twice!! They'd had two attempts at it then finally gave up. I didn't know her husband but got the impression from what she told me that it was her who couldn't settle.

My old man had 7 aunties and uncles and lived in stoke with them until the age of 8 , moved to Chester and tbh not looked back

il try find out

Great, I would appreciate that!

I wonder if it's Franklin on the old Tom Tom's at the back.

What about EH?

Nah, it's 6 towns. Always has been. The 6 towns run in a line from north to south along the A50 - Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton, Longton. Stoke-on-Trent was formed by the federation of the 6 towns in 1910. Fenton was 'forgotten' about by the author Arnold Bennet in the early 1900's, but he knew it was the 6 towns, but that didn't fit into his fictional novels as well. Fenton was geographically the biggest of the 6 towns so it's odd that he should leave that one out.

@@allthingsabbey No problem! Me too (born and raised and still here 52 years later!). I was responding to Adamgraham's comment that there were 5 towns - I thought you were taking the mickey with 7!

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. In 2019 the immigrant population of Stoke-on-Trent was around 15%, which was about the average for the whole of the UK (London is obviously an exception). A lot of immigrants are white so I can't see how you can tell if a population has 'few immigrants' by sight alone, unless you check your facts, which you obviously haven't. We could talk about 'asylum seekers' - the total number in Stoke on Trent in 2019 was more than double the amount for the whole of South East England. We could talk about the UK's biggest ever percentage increase in the non-UK born population in any UK area took place in Stoke-on-Trent between 2001 and 2011, where the foreign born population grew by 130%. In 2019, 13% of Stoke-on-Trent's population was classed as 'non-white' (many of whom were born in the area, so don't count as immigrants), which is more than most areas in the UK, other than London and the Birmingham/West Midlands area. I am not sure Trump's (now Biden's) America is far ahead of anywhere, least of all anywhere in the UK. If the USA was located in Europe, it would not even be accepted into the EU as it does not qualify under the EU definition of a democratic country. Those riot scenes in the Capitol that Trump instigated? That is your country. That doesn't happen here.

You obviously don't get out into USA much. Skid row in LA? McKeesport PA? Detroit? Kensington Avenue area of Philly? Toledo? I have... that should broaden your horizons my friend.
