28DL and UE in the News Staffslive regarding potteries

Personally, i quite like stoke. I despise what it has become, but think of all that history. It's like Walsall i suppose. It's shit now, but going back 40/50 years, it was amazing. Just a shame all the history is gone.

Tweek - that bagged, wide arch clio is the only reason i'd return to Stoke... ( He says after returning from wank staffordshire via lidl for shitty twix's)

I agree with you there, tbh going back 15-20 years to when I was younger, most of my family worked on the pot banks and my dad worked in the pit, and I'm only 24!

We have lost a lot of industry and history in such a short amount of time.

Tragic really...

I'm from Stoke too, fairly new to urbexing. if i'm honest its pretty uninspiring, there is the odd place of interest but looking at some of the posts on here it dwarfs it.

Got my eyes on the fabled Cotton College that no one seems to have been inside (at least not that i can find :P)

Stoke is a boring place and I think this report condemning us is just to get us to report on their crap.

So anyone fancy a day trip to stoke
