Mother Town conservation area 'at risk'

AN historic town centre has been added to a national list of 'at risk' heritage.

Burslem conservation area is among the new additions to Historic England's Heritage at Risk register in 2025.

The conservation area covers the 'historic Georgian core' of the Mother Town, and includes some of Stoke-on-Trent’s most iconic buildings, including the Wedgwood Institute, the Queens Theatre, Burslem School of Art and the Old Town Hall. The Grade II*-listed Wedgwood Institute in Queen Street was already included on the register.

Historic England maintains the register to celebrate the country's built heritage and ensure that it is safeguarded for future generations.
