Places

There are many towns and villages connected to Staffordshire. The county is made up of eight different districts and Stoke, which is a city and a unitary authority area. The county borders Cheshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, the West Midlands, Worcestershire and Shropshire.

Stoke-on-Trent

The city of Stoke-on-Trent is a unique federation of “The Six Towns” – Burslem, Fenton, Hanley, Longton, Stoke-upon-Trent and Tunstall – which had evolved from small hilltop villages into thriving industrial towns based upon the local mineral resources of coal, iron and clay. Since the federation of these six towns in 1910 and the granting of City status in 1925, Stoke-on-Trent has grown further to take in a wider area of north Staffordshire, including parts of Norton-in-the-Moors, Smallthorne, Meir, Weston Coyney and Trentham.
