You started the tour with my old local - The Marquis of Granby. Haven't been back in 15 years. It looks a lot cleaner now. Much greener too. Makes me want to go back for a visit. thanks for posting!!
Pretty cool. I've a friend who lives in the Forsbrook area. I'd definitely have to get used to driving on the left ... and watchng for traffic signs on the *side* of the road, instead of hanging over the road. An interesting tour. Thanks!
Great video and great music too!!!! (Bought the album after this) We all come from somewhere and there are worse places than Stoke on Trent!!! Proud to say born and bred in Stoke on Trent. Well done and looks good from my seat!
Thanx for the ride...... Many years ago my uncle had two pubs...... The Bulls head in Hanley and later the Post Office Vaults in Burslem..... My cousin lives in Lightwood and previously Trentham......
Thanks for showing this :-) My Grandfather was born in Fegg Hayes in 1915 and to Australia as a lad so it's great to see video of towns that he was in as a boy (although they would have changed heaps)
Reminds me of me in my van going through the city before I emigrated to Africa .......around 8 yrs ago...thank goodness as standard of living much better here even when hitch hiking ....still teaching the missus though how to cook the perfect oatcake
Wow, Hanley has changed so much from 2007 to 2014! Houses around Joiner's Square - gone! Car park opposite the old bus station - gone! Botteslow street - completely changed! The whole of Stoke has changed, tbh. But overall, I bet that drive was a bit of dosh - your car must run on water (or forever-lasting diesel). :P
I've lived In Stoke-on-Trent for nearly 10 years now, I live in Blythe, so I've never been past Hanley much, so what a great vid to show me the other side =D
good video man, when u went past asda in tunstall and u put in bracketts they sacked me had me in stitches. Shame u didnt come down my street on the outskirts of longton.
The Stoke I grew up in is long gone. Possibly not such a bad thing but I no longer feel any attachment to the place and haven't even visited it for years.
That's ace nice one! Love being a Stokie it's an awesome place with awesome people don't care what no one says, those who say it's a shithole are probably from London which is an even bigger shithole when all is said and done.
woah! thats a nostalgia trip n half. Used to bomb round those roads in my mini (fat exhaust etc. but of course),when I lived there. no newcastle though. Although you did end right outside my old school(bastards). Nice one. fuk asda man!!
How very nostalgic! lol I have hardly been back in Stoke (and the UK) since this video was uploaded, anything changed?! Why did Asda sack you??! I used to work there lol :D
'Good Oatcake Shop' ... was that near Birks Street? My first love lived there - treated her awfully for which I will ever be remorseful. If only you could turn back time.
hey dude i live in Longton, Dresden area n my sense of directions is terrible! where did ya end up at the end, did ya get back into stoke? cool video, you obviously had a lot of spare time! lol how long did it actually take ya 2 do i all? xxx
hey an oatcake is sort of like a pancake only not as sweet and we put cheese in them then cook then and the cheese melts with tamatoe sauce... gdgd stuff lol
Thanks for this brilliant video...especially the brief shots of Longton where I lived, well Normacot really , throughout the sixties and seventies....Yeah what is the music ???? You cant take stoke out of the girl, even if you take the girl outta Stoke...come on the Potters !!! Jude
Stokes made me, made me realise what a sht hole it is, though after wasting 7.08 of my life watching your video at least I know where I can find a lidl store. Thanks

Me too! Been gone over 20yrs!
@@Nitebreed good cos its a sh#thole
I did my bit for Stoke as an SCC Engineer and I’m very proud of our City...
I miss my home town, been gone way to long- this brought back some memories but lots has changed- especially the roads!
Lived in Stoke last 4 years and it's scary how there's hardly any change in this city.
I may be moving there, and I think it's really beautiful. I'm really excited with fingers crossed lol :)
Happy for you 😊
Did you ever come Stoke?
Jeez, I've been living on Venus for the last three and a half thousand years and Stoke hasn't changed a bit. Unbebloodybelievable. Thanks - lurved it.
Pretty cool. I've a friend who lives in the Forsbrook area. I'd definitely have to get used to driving on the left ... and watchng for traffic signs on the *side* of the road, instead of hanging over the road. An interesting tour. Thanks!
I remember Queens nightclub at Basford! That place was brilliant!
Thanks, i'm sitting with a big grin on me face after watching that, loved it.
Stokie living in Lancashire who is dreaming of the promised land.

good video man, when u went past asda in tunstall and u put in bracketts they sacked me had me in stitches. Shame u didnt come down my street on the outskirts of longton.

Great stuff...Go on stoke...all the way from Michigan USA
No not Usa
Pretty cool as I recognised most of it :D But I wish you went through Newcastle-Under-Lyme where I'm from
I’ve been to Stoke on Trent, Stoke on Trent, historic town on the river Trent. 🎶
I don't know how you did it, but you weren't cut up or nearly killed by another sub-par driving Stokie!
Loved the video - and would love to see more.
That's ace nice one! Love being a Stokie it's an awesome place with awesome people don't care what no one says, those who say it's a shithole are probably from London which is an even bigger shithole when all is said and done.
That is a lovely video, well done!
Great video, Stoke is the BEST place on earth! What is the music, it's really haunting!
For somthing that could of turned out to be a really boring vid you've done a really good job, goes well with music, nice job.
LOL well I know it's cold and rainy but the man I love lives there, so I've learned Delilah and am waving my Stoke City banner. :)
Unbelievable how much its changed. Pretty sure if you live where you stop at the end, I only live 1 street away from you 😂
The age old question, is Basford in Stoke-on-Trent or Newcastle-under-Lyme?
I think it’s on the may bank side so stoke on Trent
Good idea this, well made too!
Really good.
Top vid!!! looks so much better when u drive faster!!!
good work fella
Cool video :)
cool video ! thanks for posting !!
Matt in the USA
If you do drive this route again, make sure you start at Penkhull again.
Try going down that Penkhull steep slope in very icy weather!
That was really cool :)

Great video, liked your quirky comments, you missed some great features off though. Fantastic music too, very chilling!
