I've sort of got mixed feelings towards the Potteries, on one hand Stoke-on-Trent is unique in the way that it hasn’t capitalised by using the River, and on the other hand I feel sad that the River Trent was snubbed by the local councils in making Hanley the capital city of the Potteries. But then at least Stoke City Football Club has remained loyal by having both football stadiums built in Stoke
I heard somewhere that Stoke-on-Trent was changing the name of Hanley I didn't really give a butthole, however I did use the information even though it turned out to be gobbledygook.
Stoke-on-Trent city council was at a loss of what to do?

Stoke is not the primary the river Trent runs through.
Hanley is the principal throughout Stoke-on-Trent
it seems owing to our road signs visitors are wrongly sent.
Thence the council was considering changing the Hanley name
while locals had mixed feelings it wouldn’t be quite the same.
Our road signs are the problem they’re munitions for a joke
and quite simply they didn’t hire me hence visitors end in Stoke.
Diverting the river through Hanley-on-Trent would lesser a feeble debt
as anglers would pay silly money to fish in a mall knowing they’ll never get wet..
I always think of Stoke-on-Trent as a temporary storage swindle.
They were going to revamp Stoke but before they could, they had to move its contents to Hanley. While Stoke was preparing for construction Hanley used the capital of Stoke and vastly expanded, knowing that once it had exceeded what Stoke could re accommodate Hanley would thence become the principal.
