Burslem sits right in the heart of The Potteries, known as the "Mother Town" of Stoke-on-Trent. It's full of character, with its old brick bottle kilns dotted around, narrow streets, and grand old buildings telling the story of its industrial past. While it's quieter these days compared to its heyday, Burslem still holds onto its strong local identity, with a mix of independent shops, pubs, cafés, and some wonderful old architecture that gives it a charm of its own.

Historically, Burslem played a huge role in the rise of the British ceramics industry. As early as the 12th century, pottery was being made here, but it was in the 17th and 18th centuries that things really took off. The Wedgwood family started here, and famous names like Royal Doulton, Moorcroft, and Burleigh all have strong ties to Burslem. The wealth brought in by the potteries led to the building of some fine Georgian and Victorian buildings, many of which still stand today. While the industry has declined, there's still pottery being made, and Burslem's proud industrial heritage remains a big part of its character. The population of Burslem sits at around 6,000, forming one of Stoke-on-Trent's six main towns.

For visitors, Burslem has a few hidden gems worth exploring. Middleport Pottery, just down the road, offers guided tours of a working pottery with traditional techniques still in use. The Burslem School of Art is another fine building with plenty of local events and exhibitions. The old town square is lined with grand buildings, including the stunning Old Town Hall. You're not far from National Trust's Little Moreton Hall, a magnificent Tudor manor house, or English Heritage's Mow Cop Castle, which offers panoramic views over Staffordshire and Cheshire. There's also the Trent and Mersey Canal close by, great for peaceful walks and a bit of narrowboat spotting.

Wider Staffordshire offers plenty more. Alton Towers sits under an hour away and draws thrill-seekers from across the country. Trentham Gardens brings together lovely gardens, shopping, a lake, and Monkey Forest. Cannock Chase is ideal for walkers and cyclists, while Shugborough Estate near Stafford provides a stately home experience. Over in Lichfield, you'll find the magnificent three-spired cathedral, and the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas offers a peaceful, reflective visit.

Burslem's transport links are pretty straightforward. While there's no railway station in Burslem itself, Stoke-on-Trent station is just a few miles away and connects to the West Coast Main Line for trains to London, Manchester, Birmingham and beyond. The A500 and A50 nearby give quick road links, with the M6 only a short drive away for longer trips. Manchester Airport is roughly 45 minutes by car, with Birmingham Airport a little further but still easily reachable. Local buses run regularly through Burslem and connect the six Potteries towns.
