Named
after the Esperanto language created by Dr. Zamenhof from Poland in 1887.
Horace Barks, the Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent in the 1950's was known
as "Mr. Esperanto" because of his passion for the language. He
persuaded Bass Worthington brewery to add the words 'la verda stelo' to
the side of 'The Green Star'
- giving the Esperanto translation to the name. Esperanto Way runs next
to the pub. Nearby is 'Zamenhof Grove'
