Fenton, Town of the Long Street 🇬🇧

Greenest & largest town in the Potteries. Like Stoke-on-Trent in microcosm - linear, polycentric. Once described as - the town of the long street.

#Birmingham, largest city within the Warwickshire Miners’ Federation Coalfield, was the first to accept the invitation to join the national #LidiceShallLive campaign as its citizens inaugurated their committee with a #Lidice Week @UKinCR @LidiceMemorial

Train to London. 3 trains later everyone has to get off at B’ham and no trains north or south. Utter chaos. What a complete shambles our country has become. Nothing works, nothing is punctual etc it’s like a 3rd world country with an elite cabal skimming off the profits 😡😡😡

The history of Christ Church goes back to 1839, when the first church was erected at a cost of £2,500. Fenton then contained only a few thousand residents, but as the town grew the parish spread, the mission-church of St. Michael's being erected in 1875 and St. Matthew's in 1882.

Burnham Street: resident estimates 15-20 lorries a day. Street seems to be sinking with the weight of onslaught. Mucky brown river of silt runs from the closed up entrance of Potteries Demolition down onto King Street, then along till it disappears into a drain @SoTCityCouncil

Quietly optimistic about the response to an enquiry regarding expanding Fenton's Christmas lights more extensively across its 3 main thoroughfares - City Road, Victoria Road & King Street, making #Fenton feel like #onetown again. @alanjgerrard @cheryl_gerrard @FentonGlennLP

New 19th century research relating to Fenton, one of the six towns of Stoke-on-Trent, now available to view on the eponymous Facebook group. Information regarding Christ Church, Glebe School, Mount Tabor Methodist Chapel and St Matthew's Church @alanjgerrard @cheryl_gerrard

Architectural eyesores - Fenton has its fair share. But which is the worst, and if you could get rid of one, now, which would it be?

[Fenton, Town of the Long Street 🇬🇧 @Progthrust1]

Coming up soon. New research on the opening of Glebe School on Market Street, and St Matthew's Church, Park Street, in the area that used to be known colloquially as Boat End (at the bottom of Fenpark Road).@alanjgerrard @cheryl_gerrard @GlebeAcademy @FentonGlennLP

It's great to see @FentonTownHall reaching out to broader tastes👍 Exactly the kind of thing we had in mind when we created the vision for a multifunctional community facility for Stoke-on-Trent @alanjgerrard @cheryl_gerrard @dec_brennan @AlanB143 @fslconsult @FentonGlennLP
