Navigation Road, Burslem Wharf to St. John's Square
Navigation Road ran from the wharf buildings at the end of the Burslem Canal (a short branch canal of the Trent and Mersey canal) up a steep hill to St. Johns Square in the town centre of Burslem.
A horse drawn tramway was then used to haul material from the canal to the
potworks in Burslem. |
