Historic Weatherby’s Falcon Pottery Factory in Hanley Demolished - Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire

After standing for over a century, Weatherby’s Falcon Pottery Factory in Hanley has now been demolished following a Section 78 order from Stoke-on-Trent City Council. The building had been unsafe for nearly 20 years, with fire damage, structural collapse, and squatters occupying parts of the site. Despite its Grade II listed status, no successful restoration or redevelopment plans were ever carried out. Now, after years of neglect and bureaucracy, the site is being cleared. 👉 Read and watch here: https://www.theredhairedstokie.co.uk/... What are your thoughts on the loss of this historic site?
