Hanley became the main shopping centre of the Potteries when, in 1910, it became a federated city with the merger of all six towns.

Nowadays the town boasts a large shopping centre and the city's Cultural Quarter comprising two splendidly refurbished theatres, the Royal and The Regent, along with one of the country's best concert venues, the Victoria Hall

Amongst some of the famous people born in Hanley are football legend Sir Stanley Matthews and Captain EJ Smith, the captain of the ill-fated Titanic.
