Special Ale Celebrates City’s Centenary

NewsDesk

Burslem-based Titanic Brewery is brewing a special ale in honour of the City of Stoke-on-Trent’s centenary.

Called the Centenary Anniversary Ale, the traditional amber ale will be on sale in public houses throughout the Potteries. The Lord Mayor, Councillor Lyn Sharp, visited the brewery recently.

During her visit, she said Stoke-on-Trent’s brewing heritage had played a proud role in the city’s first 100 years.

A spokesperson for JD Wetherspoons confirmed that all its public houses in Staffordshire would stock the ale.

Lost Film Strips

Can You Help Trace Them?

North Staffordshire Heritage would like to celebrate the City of Stoke-on-Trent’s Centenary by showing a series of film strips.

The film strips were made by local schools in 1960. They celebrated the 50th anniversary of the amalgamation of the six towns, which created the County Borough of Stoke-on-Trent.

We have the film strip, The Township of Tunstall, made by Highgate Secondary School. The filmstrips about Burslem, Hanley, Stoke-upon-Trent, Fenton and Longton are missing.
