Dereliction (Apr 09)

Derelict buildings off the Caldon Canal in Hanley (April 2009)

Derelict buildings at the Lord Nelson pottery works off the Caldon Canal in Hanley which falls within the City Waterside regeneration zone. City Waterside is part of RENEW North Staffordshire’s City Centre Area of Major Intervention (AMI). This picture was taken in April 2009.

It looks absolutely brilliant, as good as a new house! It makes me feel proud to live here.

I will be glad to go. It’s not a nice place to live... There’s no community left here any more.
