The city is surrounded by some of the countries most unspoilt countryside, as you approach the southern exit of the M6 at Junction 15 you will notice beware of the deer signs! and to the east you find the Staffordshire Moorlands and gateway to the Peak District. Tourism has long been a major force within and around the city with many travellers visiting the major theme park at Alton Towers and the factories of Stoke on Trent, the Hanley Museum home to one of the countries finest collections of ceramics. Hanley Museum is also home to our beloved Spitfire aeroplane, Reginald Mitchell the Spitfires designer was a resident of the City. Another famous resident was Captain Smith the captain of the ill fated Titanic some would suggest Captain Smith should not be celebrated but this captain was probably the finest of his day to be given the responsibility of captaining this ship on its maiden voyage.
In more recent times Stoke on Trent was the childhood home of Robbie Williams of Take That and a hugely successful solo career.
Stoke on Trent is home to 2 professional football teams, Premiership Stoke City, The Potters and Division one Port Vale, The Valliant’s, football has always had a strong part of the City’s past with such players as Sir Stanley Matthews and Gordon Banks.
