The Glebe Hotel - 35, Glebe Street

The Glebe public house on Glebe Street, Stoke.
The pub was built around 1900 with a roof made of Welsh slate and painted Stucco walls.

Glebe Street in the town centre of Stoke is only a few hundred yards long but contains 14 'listed buildings' (although some are not buildings but tombstones in the church yard) and Brook Street, which runs off Glebe Street contained 5 'listed buildings'.

Glebe Street runs from Church Street (the old turnpike road) at the bottom to the Trent and Mersey Canal and mainline railway at the top. The top end of Glebe Street also crosses the A500 dual carriageway which joins many of the Potteries towns to the M6 motorway. The A500 runs parallel to the Trent and Mersey Canal at this point.

On the left is the side of the old Stoke Town Hall, on the right is the Glebe public house and hotel. In the centre is the entrance to the Civic Centre which is connected to the Town Hall.

Once upon a time Aqueduct Street ran from Glebe Street to an aqueduct which carried the Newcastle-under-Lyme canal, this canal (long since closed, filled in and built over) ran from Newcastle, through Stoke (past Minton's and Spode's factories) and joined the Trent and Mersey Canal at the top of Glebe Street.
