Stoke-on-Trent
Stoke-on-Trent was the name given to the amalgamation of six famous Potteries towns, the other five being Burslem, Fenton, Hanley, Longton and Tunstall. This book deals with the entire City, illustrating its wide variety of industries and the way of life of the people in the past. The world-wide reputation of Stoke was secured by the products of the pottery manufacturers. The innovations of men like Josiah Wedgwood, Josiah Spode and the Adams family - who had been making pots since the 15th century - built up a world-beating industry. The author vividly records much of the characteristic Potteries scene, of bottle-kilns, pit-heads and workers' cottages; and of the workers themselves, as they earned their living or enjoyed their recreations. Arnold Bennett, the City's literary giant, would have loved this book.

Southport
Southport is a 19th-century town which grew up on a thinly populated coast of sandy dunes. It is a region where landscape has played a dominant role and this new account of the area's past places the modern town inside a longer chronological narrative. South Port first developed as a bathing resort before becoming a desirable place to live. It was a product of the 19th century, and it is no surprise that this period has been the most extensively reported of the town's history, but the opportunity is taken here to consider areas and issues that had previously been relatively ignored. The 20th century, during which time Southport became established as a high-class residential town, has attracted less attention from historians. It is an omission addressed in a book which complements existing works but differs substantially from them. The post-1974 account of Southport into Sefton, for example, brings the story up to the present day. As well as placing Southport within a broader historical framework, this new study also deals with all the various parts of the town, including the suburbs of Birkdale and Ainsdale.
