A short history of Stoke-on-Trent
The name Stoke comes from the Old English word stoc, which carried several meanings. It may refer to a crossing point or to an early church dated by tradition to 670 AD. The river name was added later to distinguish Stoke-upon-Trent from other places of that name. Coal mining was first reported in the 13th century and pottery making reached industrial scale from the 17th. In 1766 Josiah Wedgwood cut the first sod for the Trent and Mersey Canal and built his Etruria Works, with the canal finished in 1777. Josiah Spode introduced bone china in 1796. Striking miners in Hanley and Longton set off the Pottery Riots of 1842. On 1 April 1910 the Six Towns became a single county borough. It gained city status in 1925 and a lord mayor in 1928. Of 161 listed buildings within three miles of the centre, the Mausoleum and Barlaston Hall are Grade I.
