Location: Woodbank Street, Burslem (at the roadside) Installed: 1992 Commissioned by: Staffordshire County Council Sculptor: John McKenna Each of the three reliefs is situated within a black edged arch, with the head of the arch being shaped to reflect the image within the arch. These sculptures celebrate three traditional industries of Burslem, brick manufacture, mining and pottery. The relief of the coal miner is within a frame that has the shape of a pithead's two wheels. He kneels on one knee and uses a pickaxe to chip at the coal face that surrounds him. The second and largest relief shows a potter working on a potter's wheel. It is set within a frame in the shape of a pottery kiln. The bowls he is manufacturing are hardening on a shelf in the foreground of the image. The last relief is set within a frame in the shape of a brick kiln. It shows a brickmaker removing a brick from its mould with two shelves of bricks hardening in the background.

This is all that remains of Burslem's Hill Top Methodist Sunday School. The rest was demolished in 1987, following a fire in 1983.

Allotment gardens were originally provided to give people living in densely packed terraced houses somewhere to grow their own food. There are not many left now.

Stoke-on-Trent had many miles of railways connecting coal mines, steel works and potteries. Many of them have now been converted to pleasant walks, usually called Greenways. This one goes from Burslem to Tunstall and on to Kidsgrove.

These are the buildings on the south-west side Of Westport Street, close to Burslem town centre.
