Old Church Street (Bourne's Bank)

Bournes Bank is the line of an ancient pathway - it was part of the packhorse route from Hanley to Burslem.

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

Old Church Street used to be the main route to St. Johns Church 
until a more direct route was built in the form of New Church Street.

At the bottom of Bournes Bank the kilns of
Acme Marls.
