I very much doubt anyone will remember this one - There was a shop up from where the church next to the potteries centre is, sold kitchens and various other bits including a vast array of firegrates, can't for the life of me remember what it's called and I actually worked there! It was only for a month while I waited for a date to join the RN tho' and it was a long time ago Moss' ? Yup, pretty sure that was it, well remembered

I remember the 1st ever kebab shop in Hanley, years ago on the way out of Hanley towards Hanley Forest park, was a sort of PortaKabin building. Also remember the Deli that was on the site of the now Potteries Shopping Centre, opposite what is now Poundland, and Hedonism....Used to love the smell of cured bacon and cooked meats.... The kebab shop was Persepolis. It was owned by an Iranian guy who was in a Stoke originally as a student. Good kebabs too!

Unity House up Hanley. We called it K9 as kids, because from Burslem it looked just like Dr Who's dog K9. It was condemned not that long after it was built as it was structurally unsafe, I remember the entrance had a temporary walkway covered in tarpaulin to protect pedestrians from falling masonry, and loads of the windows were boarded up because they had shattered under the strains that should have been dissipated ( blimey.... ) by the structural columns that were not up to the job. They ended up putting huge steel bands as a sort of corset to strengthen it, but ultimately it was vacated and demolished.
