About Stoke-On-Trent
Stoke-on-Trent is a city in Staffordshire in the West Midlands region of England. The city is a federation of six older towns (Hanley, Stoke, Burslem, Tunstall, Longton and Fenton) forming a linear city almost twelve miles long with an area of 36 square miles.
Stoke-on-Trent is situated approximately half-way between Manchester and Birmingham and the city adjoins the town and borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, which is administered separately. Together they form a conurbation with a population in excess of 360,000.
The Federation of the Six Towns brought together the county borough of Hanley, the municipal boroughs of Burslem, Longton, and Stoke, together with the urban districts of Tunstall and Fenton as a single county borough of Stoke-on-Trent on April 1, 1910. The combined borough took the name of town of Stoke - the main line railway station has been located there since 1848, and Stoke was also the original ancient parish, with other settlements being chapelries. The six towns run in a rough line: from north to south along the A50 - Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton
