Stoke on Trent, often known simply as Stoke, is a significant city in Staffordshire located in the heart of England’s West Midlands region. Renowned as the 'World Capital of Ceramics', the area is made up of six historic towns (Burslem, Fenton, Hanley, Longton, Stoke-upon-Trent, and Tunstall), each contributing distinct character and heritage to the broader conurbation. The city has a rich industrial past, with many famous pottery manufacturers such as Wedgwood and Royal Doulton originating here, and the legacy of the Staffordshire Potteries is visible throughout the area.
