Stoke Road, Shelton, in 2005

Stoke Road, which runs from Shelton to Stoke, falls within the University Quarter Area of Major Intervention (AMI). This picture was taken in 2005. UniQ is an extensive development which stretches from Stoke-on-Trent’s main railway station through the campuses of City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College, Staffordshire University and Stoke-on-Trent College up to the city centre. UniQ is a planned £282 million transformation project to create a state-of-the-art learning quarter in Stoke-on-Trent.

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.
