What a corker of a thread. I've got a few pics too so I'll contribute imminently. I'd love to know where the pic above is of though Gaz? Hopefully I won't post stuff you've already seen but here is three I posted the other day on the BBC ceramics programme thread. Anchor Works, bottom of Anchor Rd/Sutherland Rd. you can just make out the old nick beyond the pot bank, and the building on the right is the original Lloyds Bank. How cool does the factory look though?! Enson Works, Chelson Street. Sadly the building in the foreground has only just gone, but the factory and kilns behind are currently the subject of a restoration project. This place was the subject of a couple of visits on 28days later. Check out the pics at www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=51619&highlight=chelson+stLockets Lane, the road still exists but this view is long gone. If you visit you can make out the road shape, but there is no sign of this kind of scene. [/quote]

Anchor Rd, Adderley Green School (top left) still there and still a school. Bloody Ell. I grew up in a house that now borders the school there, opposite the Adderly Green WMC. Never seen that pic before.

sorry if you've seen any of these before, and/or I've got the locations wrong... St James' from Webberly Lane. I think the factory with the flat roof is still there along with some of the kilns of the Enson works Not really sure where this is, Sutherland Rd? Another view of Adderly Green, Anchor Rd, towards Longton? Church St, Stoke Florence pit heads Kendrick St/Paragon Rd, The Signalman pub, and what looks like a very late/one of the last BR working steam locomotives Another pre reconstruction SS Mary & Chad, Adderly Green Queensberry Shelley's (not the nightclub obviously) when it had a roof. Another shot of the long since demolished St Johns, Longton

I wish the place below had been around long enough for someone to take some pics inside. I work with a guy who used to be a regular there. I'm not sure if this is verifiable but I was told that the Alhambra had a preservation order on it and when the A50 was built it wasn't demolished but dismantled, brick by brick, and is now in storage somewhere.

Great stuff Gaznandi, have some karma.
I love bottle kilns, they're so much "of our place".
I find looking at really old pics with young children in really haunting, knowing that when it was taken in 1890 they had their whole lives ahead of them and they're now all dead and wondering what happened to them. Was it a long life, did they get killed in the first world war etc?

And we wonder why people think we're 'backwards', Stoke has barely changed at all ;D (Apart from Sainsbury's)

Also do people live above the shops, or are they offices/storage?

The Alhambra was a flea pit but in its day was the best place to be.
