Potteries terraces and hillside streets
The Potteries is hillier than many people expect, and terraced streets often run up steep slopes. Gardens can be stepped, and back alleys give access for materials on many streets.
Heavy clay is common in the area – it is what made the pottery industry possible – and it is hard on timber fence posts. Replacing rotten timber posts with concrete is one of the most common jobs for local fencers.
Stoke-on-Trent is really six towns – Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton – joined together by the pottery industry. Its streets are full of Victorian terraces with long back gardens, alongside interwar semis and newer estates.

Can I put a gate onto my back alley?
In many cases, yes. Check your deeds and whether the alley is a public right of way. A lockable gate is a good security measure.
