Remains of Longton High School
Built about 1964 the 3rd incarnation of Longton High School served 3 generations of students before being demolished by explosives in December 2011. Falling school rolls and structural problems of the seven-storey main block spelled the end for this former landmark building. Also gone are the gym, main hall, dining hall and swimming pool plus the former caretaker's house. Some of the newer buildings on the site plus the extensive playing fields have been retained for future use.

Longton High School during A50 construction
Taken during the summer of 1997 during the A50 upgrade to dual-carriageway, this photo shows the now-demolished main block of Longton High School. It was levelled in December of 2011 using explosives. The six-storey building first opened in 1964 but suffered from structural problems probably due to nearby coal mining. This is the reason why Stoke-on-Trent has very few high-rise structures when compared with other cities of similar size. Some of the newer school buildings on the site have been retained for future use.
