Stoke-on-Trent
The city of Stoke-on-Trent (also known as The Potteries or
The Six Towns) in the county of Staffordshire in the English Midlands, was
formed in 1910 as a result of the federation of six boroughs or districts,
namely Stoke-upon-Trent, Hanley, Burslem, Longton, Tunstall and Fenton, into a
single municipal borough. It became a county borough and was raised to city
status in 1925. In the local government reorganization of 1974,
Stoke-on-Trent became a District of Staffordshire, but it was restored as a
unitary authority in 1998. Although the
city administrative offices are situated in what was the original town of Stoke,
the city centre is generally regarded as in Hanley. |

Newcastle-under-Lyme
The borough of
Newcastle-under-Lyme adjoins Stoke-on-Trent and forms a single conurbation
with Stoke and is often considered to be an affluent suburb of Stoke.
Newcastle-under-Lyme became a District (later Borough) of Staffordshire in 1974,
within its present boundaries. The District was formed by the merger of the
municipal borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme with adjoining areas. |
