Bridgewater Street, Longport, Stoke-on-Trent
| This was the location of
Longport Hall, built in the mid 1770's - the hall was demolished in the
1880's and the estate was bought by a builder who demolished the Hall
and built 125 terrace houses fronting Newcastle Street and 3 new streets
behind: Bridgewater Street, Trubshawe Street, and Shirley Street.
In 2010/11 the houses in this area of Middleport and Longport were demolished as part of a Stoke-on-Trent City Council clearance programme. |
