About

Longport is a district in the north of Stoke-on-Trent, historically centred on the Trent and Mersey Canal. The area is characterised by former industrial sites and terraced housing, with the canal and its associated wharves remaining a focal point. The landscape is marked by the presence of bottle kilns, remnants of the area's deep pottery manufacturing heritage.

Adjacent to the south lies Burslem Park, a formal Victorian park that serves as a green expanse within the urban setting. It features a traditional bandstand, a conservatory, and ornamental lakes. The park is bordered by residential streets and is a short distance from the historic centre of Burslem, the original 'Mother Town' of the Potteries known for its ceramic institutions.
