Businesses have come together to help give a boost to the iconic Spode Rose Garden in Stoke.

It represents yet another new chapter for the site.

The garden - attached to the Spode China Hall - had been unused for more than 20 years before it was relaunched in 2016.

It's since been revived courtesy of a partnership between Stoke-on-Trent City Council and a number of local firms.

To mark the city's centenary celebrations, businesses have again pitched in to ensure the garden is looking its best.

Efforts have seen Staffordshire-based Morgan and Bond Ltd donating 10 tonnes of topsoil, laying new stone pathways and creating a slabbed hopscotch court with that work valued at £8,000.
