If you like this shot, press 'F' and show your appreciation! I recently had the fantastic opportunity to photograph a fantastic piece of history right in the middle of Stoke on Trent. Sometimes known as the 'Savoy of the Midlands' the Leopard Inn in Burslem certainly holds a lot of hidden secrets. The Leopard Inn is one of Stoke-on-Trent's hidden gems. A listed building in Burslem, it is steeped in history and the discovery of tunnels and 58 bedrooms that have been left exactly as they were when they were sealed between the 1930's and 1950's has brought it centre-stage again. The Leopard Inn dates from the early 1700's. Initially a coaching house and Inn, there has been a working pub on this site for 300 years or more. In 1878 a three storey extension including 57 rooms were built. The ambition was to create in Burslem 'The Savoy of the North'. The rooms to the front of the Leopard are today in use as a pub and restaurant, and to the rear the hotel lies abandoned and purportedly haunted. The Leopard Inn, on Market Place, has become internationally well-known following its appearance on Most Haunted in 2007.

Middleport Pottery. Explored 25/02/2015 #35. A Piece of china or pottery. 115 in 2015. This is a 'piece of pottery' seen from the back...the rest is at the front! Middleport Pottery is a Grade II* listed building based in Middleport, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, the home of the British pottery industry. The Prince's Regeneration Trust which has been working with partners to restore the site, create employment and maintain and develop Middleport's role within the local community. The Prince of Wales has for many years believed in the power of heritage-led regeneration and believes that heritage buildings can provide a key role in invigorating the regeneration of the areas in which they sit History. In 1862 William Leigh and Frederick Rathbone Burgess took over Central Pottery in the heart of Burslem, calling their new business Burgess & Leigh Ltd. Eventually the founders’ surnames would be combined to form the brand name Burleigh. In 1889 they moved to their state of the art, purpose built site beside the Trent and Mersey Canal at Middleport, situated between Longport and Burslem. At the top of the apex roof it reads 'Anderton Co. 1890'. Burslem grew rapidly in the early 19th century and the demand for wharfage facilities was met by the development of the area between Longport and Newport. By 1823 this area was known as “Middle Port”. Here a large new wharf had been opened by 1832 called 'Port Vale Wharf’ connected to Newcastle Street by Port Vale Street (originally Bag Street). The Anderton Canal Company bought the adjacent site to Burgess & Leigh in the early 1890s where they erected a large warehouse and boat repair yard most of which is intact. The Anderton works are now used as offices and small manufacturing units
