There are two steps up to the monument. The figure of a soldier dressed in World War I uniform appears on the front face of the square-sectioned memorial. He stands within a shallow niche, holding his gun end downwards. His head is bare, and his hat lies next to his right foot. The Burslem coat of arms appears on the rear face of the monument, above the inscription. Both the right and left sides of the monument are decorated with a Latin cross and, below that, a wreath festooned with drapes.
The memorial was unveiled by the Earl of Dartmouth, 11 November 1921

New Inn + bottle oven
The oven is at A G Hackney's Fountain Place Works and is photographed from Fountain Place. A modern picture Image appears not to include the oven I would be grateful for news of its continued survival.
In 1988 the Potteries Heritage society published a list of the 46 surviving bottle ovens. I wonder what the number is nearly 20 years later.
