Stoke on Trent is a city on the River Trent in the county of Staffordshire, England. It is at the centre of the district known as The Potteries, from the predominant industry of the locality, china and ceramics manufacture. Coal mining was formerly also important. Stoke on Trent has been immortalised as the 'Five Towns' in the novels of Arnold Bennett, although in fact the city was formed by the merger of six towns.
