I had no idea! Love learning something new every day... tick. Cheers 🍺

I love my heritage❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Just like everywhere else in the world, they're trying another reset. but ...the evil Is coming down for sure

I remember when Bago ran this pub, we had some great times!

Looks fake to me

Lived there for a while 35 years ago. Lights from the Victoria Ground would shine into my bedroom.

We need to start digging for victory yet again,.

It's for a mineshaft

Nice to see my Sunday morning alarm clock on KZbin :D To explain, the bells of St Giles can be heard all through the valley and back in the days when everything was much quieter they could wake you up of a summers morning :).

Rumours has it, the remains of The White Lion Pub after being dismantled, were just chucked in a field and largely forgotten about. I know a few who lay claim to having bits of it either in their gardens or on the allotments round here. Won't be the first time Stafford council has made a big mistake, certainly won't be the last xx

It's the same in lidl

Too expensive, out of town supermarkets, online shopping , homeless people and monkey dust. The place terrifies me now. Gone are The Steam Machine, The Place, Robateauxs.

Where in Stoke-on-Trent are palm trees growing by the side of the road?????

Love this as i grow up there it was an epic place to explore ❤

I'm guessing by the state of the roadway and the pavements that the council has never adopted them, but that they are to this day the common property of the house owners, who don't cooperate well enough to fund the upkeep of the common parts.

There's a very similar deercote at Auckland Castle, the palace of the Bishop of Durham

Thank you for this. Isn’t it interesting that behind so many groundbreaking advances in the sciences, there’s a woman. Many of them forgotten until recently. I’m glad that she achieved acclaim in her lifetime.

Gutted i missed this.. being a local resident too!! Arrgh.. thanks for sharing. 👍

I would have loved to come to this, I live locally too! Is there anywhere that you consistently check to see these local events advertised?

Very good 👏

How many thousands of times have I passed there and never knew what it used to be?!

It’s called StMicheals church not StMarys

I've not been in the Villas since the mid-80's :D I don't recall how but I got invited to a big party there and spent the entire night earnestly and drunkenly discussing many deep and important things ... or so twenty year old self-important me thought :grins: I am trying to recall which house it was - definitely on the left as you go into the street ... maybe the second house along?

That was our 'local' for years :) Until the brewery made them conform to the chains menu the food here was fabulous!

History dictates if you were (as a woman) attractive you were a witch (jealousy) if you were a "bit odd" (fear) you were a witch. If you were clever or a nature educated (herbology and the like) you were a witch. Men didn't like clever women centuries ago.

If Vikings shopped at Ikea🤣

love the bit at the end where the kids are attacking the adults

Thank you for sharing this! I’m looking into possibly buying this to restore… very interesting video

My first thought is that it was Mill Meece but that chimney has more prominent collars and, of course, has all the buildings nearby :) It's not Etruria, I think, as that chimney is square sectioned. The same for Chatterley Whitfield.

Fascinated to have come across your channel, duck :D Especially in these difficult times where we can sometimes think it seems like our history is coming to an end, it is good to look back at the depth and length of the roots to bind us to our place. I'm a Cheadle lad originally but lived in various places around Stoke in the 80's and 90's. I was also an assistant to the curators of the City and Gladstone museums for a number of years and developed quite a knowledge of our ceramics industry over the centuries - I still remember spending a summer in the bowels of the City Museum identifying and cataloguing finds from the Abbey Hulton digs. Industrial Age archaeology is fascinating because the things that were in place were often huge but they did not sit in the landscape for very long (in historical terms) because things moved on so rapidly. Piecing together the arc of the story of a location is very satisfying, even if half the time the best we can do is admit we don't know :)

It really would be interesting to know for sure what happened here during the war :). The last time I was there was in the 80's, back in my biker days and all I can say is that the ravers treated the place with less respect than we did! So sad to see an old site like that so marred with the terrible spray-paint menace that some people try to claim is art rather than vandalism.

The Police and council have destroyed Hanley! One time Ludicrous did a gig at Zenn And a few days later they were told by the police and council “your music attractors the wrong crowd” They were reported and after that the club was raided by the police every Fri/sat without fail! Nobody wants to invest hard earned money in a shit hole with Donkeys as police.

Armed muslims gangs vs angry, unarmed British patriots

Drones are not allowed now without police clearance.

I suggest you watch silenced ask why do they want him silenced

The Muslims had weapons media and lefties COVER IT UP.. BUT KARMA WILL RIGHT WRONGS.

They aren't protests. They're facists breaking our country

Yep brill Friday nights in there back in the day

Very interesting such a shame about the appalling graffiti 👏👏

Mindless vandalism will not bring the three girls back

Good to see that there wasn't any trouble.hanley actually looks ok from up there lol.

Can't have a picnic anywhere nowadays, I thought those police vans were ice cream vans🤣🤣

You listen to the right wingers, they were within spitting distance of each other. Thank you for uploading the truth. 👍

why were the tommy robinson fan club visiting today?

who pays for the policestopping the national front causing all this trouble in Hanley?

Good quality footage is it the DJI mini pro 3. Isn't funny how everywhere looks clean and tidy from above. They always say, when in Stoke-on-Trent, always look up never down don't they.

looks to me like the Police are outnumbering the rioters and the shoppers?

Looks quiet to me 🤔

Fascinating.

Excellent video and full of very interesting information and history
