If you recall the great inferno at the Permaflex factory in Trubshaw Cross, the battle to save Longton Town Hall, the Miners’ Strike and the opening of the Potteries Shopping Centre – then you remember the 1980s in Stoke!
Mervyn Edwards takes us back to the Eighties and tries to make sense of a changing Potteries.
Starts 11 am.
Admission: £5 on the day. CASH ONLY. No need to pre-book.
