Portland Road Pottery
A functioning pottery - of which there are now relatively few - although the buildings do not appear to have been a traditional potbank. The buildings appear to have been sliced apart to create access into a yard.

Foley, Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent
The area known as "The Foley" is centred on King Street, near the Longton boundary. By the 1830's there were several potworks and some large houses.
Foley Place
Foley Place is near the east end of King Street and was probably built in the 1830's or 1840's and is an example of middle-class housing with some attempt at a formal layout, rare in the Potteries at that date. It consists of an L-shaped block of two-stories stucco houses with basements, late Georgian in style. There were originally eleven houses and an inn, the 'Foley Arms,' while a communal garden (now covered by a garage and petrol station) was laid out to the west.
