Stoke-on-Trent : Britain
The city of Stoke-on-Trent (also known as The Six Towns and The Potteries) is a city in The Midlands, United Kingdom.
Stoke-on-Trent is situated almost equidistant to all the major cities in the North/Midlands of the UK (Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham, Liverpool, Sheffield). The city is named after the town of Stoke, the earliest of the six towns to be established.
This city runs into Newcastle-under-Lyme, which is administered separately. Together they form a conurbation with a population of over 350,000.
Unlike most English cities, its council is led by a directly-elected mayor, currently Mike Wolfe, an independent. It is the only one of the eleven English districts with elected mayors to use the mayor and council manager system rather than the mayor and cabinet system.

Britain Overview
Bobbies on the beat and double-decker buses, thatched cottages and country houses, village pubs and cream teas, eccentric aristocrats and people constantly shaking hands, saying “How d’you do?” and discussing the weather. Until recently England was generally thought of as a gentle, fabled land freeze-framed sometime in the 1930s, home of the post office, country pub and vicarage. It’s now better known for vibrant cities with great nightlife and attractions, contrasted with green and pleasant countryside.
