You started the tour with my old local - The Marquis of Granby. Haven't been back in 15 years. It looks a lot cleaner now. Much greener too. Makes me want to go back for a visit. thanks for posting!!
Pretty cool. I've a friend who lives in the Forsbrook area. I'd definitely have to get used to driving on the left ... and watchng for traffic signs on the *side* of the road, instead of hanging over the road. An interesting tour. Thanks!
Reminds me of me in my van going through the city before I emigrated to Africa .......around 8 yrs ago...thank goodness as standard of living much better here even when hitch hiking ....still teaching the missus though how to cook the perfect oatcake
Thanks for showing this :-) My Grandfather was born in Fegg Hayes in 1915 and to Australia as a lad so it's great to see video of towns that he was in as a boy (although they would have changed heaps)
Thanx for the ride...... Many years ago my uncle had two pubs...... The Bulls head in Hanley and later the Post Office Vaults in Burslem..... My cousin lives in Lightwood and previously Trentham......
Wow, Hanley has changed so much from 2007 to 2014! Houses around Joiner's Square - gone! Car park opposite the old bus station - gone! Botteslow street - completely changed! The whole of Stoke has changed, tbh. But overall, I bet that drive was a bit of dosh - your car must run on water (or forever-lasting diesel). :P
Great video and great music too!!!! (Bought the album after this) We all come from somewhere and there are worse places than Stoke on Trent!!! Proud to say born and bred in Stoke on Trent. Well done and looks good from my seat!
The Stoke I grew up in is long gone. Possibly not such a bad thing but I no longer feel any attachment to the place and haven't even visited it for years.
I've lived In Stoke-on-Trent for nearly 10 years now, I live in Blythe, so I've never been past Hanley much, so what a great vid to show me the other side =D
That's ace nice one! Love being a Stokie it's an awesome place with awesome people don't care what no one says, those who say it's a shithole are probably from London which is an even bigger shithole when all is said and done.
Sorry! very nice and well constructed. I liked it very much as you can say.. oh yer remember that oh yer been there oh yer did a job at that house... LOL very good MAKE ANOTHER!!
good video man, when u went past asda in tunstall and u put in bracketts they sacked me had me in stitches. Shame u didnt come down my street on the outskirts of longton.
woah! thats a nostalgia trip n half. Used to bomb round those roads in my mini (fat exhaust etc. but of course),when I lived there. no newcastle though. Although you did end right outside my old school(bastards). Nice one. fuk asda man!!
hey an oatcake is sort of like a pancake only not as sweet and we put cheese in them then cook then and the cheese melts with tamatoe sauce... gdgd stuff lol
=O Why was there no Blurton? And no Newstead? Trentham? Milton? Townsend? Heron Cross? Barlaston? etc I actually sat and watched it all, I mst be very sad, ahah, I like the music :) and the slightly sublimenal messaging. gutted you were sackaed from Asda!
'Good Oatcake Shop' ... was that near Birks Street? My first love lived there - treated her awfully for which I will ever be remorseful. If only you could turn back time.
i love stoke such a nice place :> all the people that says stoke is crap well they should look at the the place they live in and see wat a dump it is 0.o not everywhere is perfect
this vid is typical of how blind and ignorant some people can be of their own surroundings and history. Stoke is a wonderful place full of wonderful people and a history that puts the so called Major cities to shame
hey dude i live in Longton, Dresden area n my sense of directions is terrible! where did ya end up at the end, did ya get back into stoke? cool video, you obviously had a lot of spare time! lol how long did it actually take ya 2 do i all? xxx
Thanks for this brilliant video...especially the brief shots of Longton where I lived, well Normacot really , throughout the sixties and seventies....Yeah what is the music ???? You cant take stoke out of the girl, even if you take the girl outta Stoke...come on the Potters !!! Jude
I did my bit for Stoke as an SCC Engineer and I’m very proud of our City...

I may be moving there, and I think it's really beautiful. I'm really excited with fingers crossed lol :)
Happy for you 😊
Did you ever come Stoke?
Lived in Stoke last 4 years and it's scary how there's hardly any change in this city.
I miss my home town, been gone way to long- this brought back some memories but lots has changed- especially the roads!
I remember Queens nightclub at Basford! That place was brilliant!
Pretty cool. I've a friend who lives in the Forsbrook area. I'd definitely have to get used to driving on the left ... and watchng for traffic signs on the *side* of the road, instead of hanging over the road. An interesting tour. Thanks!
Stoke is great .Lived lots of other places due to work but returned

Jeez, I've been living on Venus for the last three and a half thousand years and Stoke hasn't changed a bit. Unbebloodybelievable. Thanks - lurved it.

The age old question, is Basford in Stoke-on-Trent or Newcastle-under-Lyme?
I think it’s on the may bank side so stoke on Trent

Tescos used to sell Staffordshire oatcakes many years ago. They quite cheap and very tasty when cook with something like ham and cheese.

That sums it up.
'Good Oatcake Shop' ... was that near Birks Street? My first love lived there - treated her awfully for which I will ever be remorseful. If only you could turn back time.

Great soundtrack..who is it ?
Scott Matthews
