21.09.11    The annual North Staffordshire "Let's Do Business" expo is back in 2011. 100 local businesses will be at the Britannia Stadium in Stoke-on-Trent, on 8th November 2011. In previous years this has been strictly "businesses only" — business support organisations have been turned away on enquiring about stands. 21.09.11    "The Legacy of Susie Cooper" is a Wedgwood Museum Friends' Event on 25th September 2011 (2pm-4pm) in the Museum's Education Room. £7.50 for members, £9.50 for non-members...
"The legacy of Susie Cooper" is the subject of the Friends Lecture on 25th September 2011. Susie was always surprised that her cups and saucers should find themselves in museum showcases as well as on the table. Miss Cooper also has a few surprises for us when we take a look at her technical prowess using the trials and prototypes which she so kindly donated to the museum before she left for the Isle of Man in 1986.

A real community pub, one of the first I went in in Stoke-on-Trent. Very little modernisation inside, lots of lovely dark brown varnished wood.

Gone.

Quote:
When St. John's was built it was only the second church in Wolverhampton. The town was expanding and another church was felt to be urgently needed. The site chosen for St. John's was to the south of the town in what appears on Isaac Taylor's map of 1750 as practically open countryside. Although details of the plan are not clear it seems that the new church was intended to serve an area likely to see expansion and that the church was intended, from the start to have a square around it. The church was opened, though not complete, in 1760 and the square appeared around it a number of years after its completion.
