LONGTON AND LANES END
LANE END and LONGTON are two townships, forming a populous and thriving market town, in the parish of Stoke; situated at the southern extremity of the Potteries, four miles southeast from Newcastle, on the road between that town and Uttoxeter. This place has risen to opulence and importance, within a comparatively few years, by the prosperous manufactures which distinguish this district. The Trent and Mersey canal pass about two miles westward from the town; and through it runs a small stream, on which are several mils grinding flint. The chapel is a brick edifice, rebuilt about the year 1795, and subsequently enlarged; the living is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of certain trustees.
An additional church was erected a few years since. There are places of worship for the several denominations of methodists, and for baptists, independents, and Roman Catholics. In a free school founded by John Bourne, Esq., in 1760, forty children of both sexes are instructed; and there is another conducted upon the national plan. The markets are held on Wednesday and Saturday; the latter is the principal and is well supplied with provisions of all kinds
There are many changes in the area, so we have decided to capture the town first. We will be covering all areas of Stoke on Trent also many other towns around the UK.
We have added some photos in the video to show you then and now where possible.
This great old mining and market town is somewhat of a ghost town at times however to the locals its home and overall history can be seen around most corners.
