The Green Star, Smallthorne
Image: © David Weston Taken: 1 Aug 2013
The Green Star, seen from the junction of Esperanto Way and Hanley Road (the A5272). The emblem of Esperanto is a green star; when the pub was built, Horace Barks, Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent 1951-52, and interested in Esperanto, requested that it should have this name. Some years ago, the name in Esperanto - "La Verda Stelo" - could be seen on the building, but it is not shown now.
