"I'm on the pots duck"

2.27: the old now long gone tower.

Wherever we may roam , Stoke is always our home ❤

I can't stand the place it's like Royston vasey . I must of been on drugs to have bought a house in the god forsaken hole .

I'm very proud to be a man from the potties

Thanks, lots of familiar stuff still here now. Wonder if the Clock Tower ever worked then, not worked properly now for decades, but due for a fix soon.

Fabulous pictures...memories of earlier times....until we become memories ourselves...!!!!

I remember winning 'Mr Universe' in Morecambe Baths in the 60s lol.

Great place to grow old. So many charity shops. 👍🏻

Lovely Town. Very proud to be from Cheadle. Used to live near the old Railway station, and loved the walks in the local countryside. Fab Video

Stoke would be a truly unique place if all these old buildings and kilns were still standing, Imagine converting a kiln into a home. Tragic loss really, stoke needs to fire up the kilns again and embrace it's heritage.

Devastating, these people who wore the purple triangle were Jehovah's Witnesses, Jesus said he was no part of the world, John 17:15, 16 Isaiah 43:10-12 John 17: 24-25

Good video good tune

Pity we could not see carlisles land mark dixons chimey

I was born in 1946 in the Potteries and remember it well, although I now live in Perth, Western Australia. The difference between these two places is equal to the difference between the Sahara Desert and the North Pole, and yet the memory of The Potteries still draws me back even after all those years.

The music isn't from the era, but it has a kind of epic power that gives the history more weight and seem more poignant.

Where did you get the photos from please? As I'd love to know where each one is. I wish each photo had a name on it. But thank you, some I hadnt seen before.

A tragic loss.

Morecambe Bay is sometimes, One of the most beautiful places in the WORLD !

There was bible students no jehovahs witnesses

As a child growing up in Abbey Hulton in the 50's I can remember pea soup smog, sitting on the back door step on bonfire night with the sky crimson from all the bonfires, playing football in Whitehouse Rd and only having to stop once every 20 minutes when the bus came down the road. Working as a dental technician in Shelton , getting off the bus in the morning and nearly retching at the stink from the gas works and Shelton bar, working overtime until 8.pm and the owner saying "I'll pay you in cash" and giving me half a crown (25p) Going to the Kings Hall on a Friday night to the "Mod balls" and walking home from Stoke to the Abbey at 1am in the morning. Buying my first record at Sherwins, Helen Shapiro "Walking back to Happiness" Seeing The Beatles at Trentham garden Going to the Place and meeting my wife there. Good luck to you all, hope this brings back memories for you

To think I was a baby in all that pollution but I’m still here to tell the story I asked my aunt why she moved to Blackpool to get away from the Poverty filthy place poor souls what ever comforts they have now they deserve it not many left now though ❤️👌

Lowise

Being born in 1950, lots of these photo views I can relate to, unlike the multi culture toilet Stoke has now become !

So sad - All gone now - The smokeless zone act killed the potteries with owners unable to switch to gas fired bottle kilns Or newer electric kilns so I am told . So much history in the 6 towns.

Hi folks, I live down on the majors barn Estate, I love Cheadle, we are so very lucky to live here, beauty all around us. I take dog for a walk each morning across old railway line and into the fields. Love it.

So many changes ..but still remains a friendly place..

Loved the music, great stills of wonderful Morecambe.

Music does not fit

Real Jehovah’s Witnesses remain neutral in political affairs. They only concern themselves with God’s Kingdom. Many died during the holocaust because of they’re strong faith. Whatever these worldly governments do will not interfere with their God given assignment found at Matthew 24:14; 28:19&20.

'We are not above our master Christ, - If the world hates you, you know it hated me [Jesus] before it hated you." Because you are no part of the world, I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you."

the pic at 1:11 was taken from my home

I was born on christmas day 1956 and lived and grew up in Morecambe so i never really appreciated what a great place it was,money was tight but i had an agreement with my mum & dad that if i took a modest christmas /birthday present they would buy me a 6 week summer holiday season ticket into Morecambe baths,which they did till i left school.Such great memories.

Pls comment in my video so that I can know you have visited my channel

A bit before my time!

Wonderful!

Pencil Master, I am one of Jehovah's witnesses also.

if you think that our government has built expensive and many of these FEMA camps along with the "guillotine's", then you are sadly mistaken !
