Bournes Bank runs from Queen Street to Woodbank Street.


Old Church Street (Bournes Bank) used to be the main route from Burslem town to St. Johns Church, a more direct route was built in the form of New Church Street. When the new street was built this one became Old Church Street and later Bournes Bank.

This view is taken half way down and the top of the
Town Hall is just visible on the skyline.
