Armitage Shanks (Garner Street)

Tales from a changing city was also granted full access in to the site of which captured the factory as it stood since its closure. The site is in its final stages of demolition and will soon be a business park. The former Excelsior site on Garner Street will soon be developed into a business park helping local companies to relocate from redeveloping areas within the city.
Garner Street once had other pottery manufactures on it such as Twyfords and a small community of residents and a large pub. The residential properties and pub was knocked down a couple of years ago due to environmental reasons.

Hanley Post office
Access was granted into the head post office in the city centre after its move into the city shopping complex.The Post office was built in 1906 by John Rutherford at the cost of around £13,000 and opened in October of the same year. We wait to see what becomes of this listed historical building after the relocation of the post office in 2007
