The corner of Commerce Street and Strand, Longton
One of the dwindling examples of a street name made out of separate ceramic tiles. Also of note is the corbelling of the corner of the building on the right to give pedestrians more room on the pavement. This building is the Crown works, formerly part of the Tams group, but now looking for a new occupant.

John Tams, Crown Works, Longton
Disused pottery beloved by urban explorers. This one lacks any bottle ovens.
John Tams bought Crown works in 1873 and specialised in imperial measuring ware including mugs for public houses. The company remained in family ownership and was floated on the stock exchange in 1995. A bank foreclosing on a loan brought about closure in 2000 but a management buyout kept it afloat until 2006 when the receivers were called in.
