Description

Today I had the privilege of attending the launch of Fred Hughes’ new book, Stoke on Trent, The Story of a City 1925 to 2025, held at Stoke Minster as part of the city’s centenary. Fred invited me as his guest, and I recorded his speech so everyone who couldn’t be there can still hear his words in full.

In this episode, you can listen to Fred talk about the people, places and stories that shaped Stoke on Trent over the last century, the research behind the book, and what this milestone means for our city. It is a lovely chance to hear his reflections first hand.

Enjoy the recording and share it with anyone who loves our local history.
