Stoke is known for the development of the famous Potteries loop line, the railway system which once linked the six towns
with outlying communities, Stoke City Football Club and famous pottery manufacturer, Spode which has stood in the centre of the town since 1770. The town is now the administrative centre of the city.Most of the original buildings are still used for a thriving business industry. Charles
Dickens once described Stoke as "a picturesque heap of houses, kilns, smoke, wharfs, canals and river lying as was most appropriate, in a basin." |
