Dresden & Florence

The Dresden & Florence ward is located in the north of Stoke-on-Trent, encompassing the distinct residential areas of Dresden and Florence. This part of the city is characterised by terraced housing and local commercial streets that serve the community. The ward includes the grounds of the former Shelton Bar steelworks, a significant industrial site whose redevelopment has shaped the local landscape. Green spaces like Dresden Park provide recreational areas within this primarily urban setting.

A notable local feature is the Florence Colliery spoil heap, a large, grass-covered landmark that remains from the area's mining history. The ward is bordered by the Etruria Valley area and the Trent and Mersey Canal, which runs along its western edge. Transport links include the A500 road, which skirts the ward, connecting it to other parts of the city and region. The community is served by several primary schools and local amenities centred on the High Street.
