Port Vale is a Pretty Town

[Bromley shrimp]

According to Port Vale's official site "Burslem (The Mother town of the Potteries) is located to the north of the city and is widely regarded as one of the prettiest towns in The British Isles"

Well having only visited the place fleetingly, twice for Albion matches and once to the Gladstone Pottery as a treat on my daughter's birthday, I must say the pretty aspect has passed me by. I will try to view Burslem in a different light tomorrow however.

Anyone else like to comment coz most posts I've read seem to concur that it is somewhat of a dump.

Yes, burslem is a shit hole

 

[RM-Taylor]

In general, Stoke is a big shit hole, not as bad as Grimsby though .

 

[who me?]

trust me,they are lying.it is almost as big a dump as lancaster,damn near up to burnley standards

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

A dead,dead place.

 

[Gully]

Burslum...kind of says it all.

 

[Yorkie]

Pretty? Pretty awful.

 

[plymouth nige]

Burslem - Stokes version of Worthing!

It's pretty dire. And that's erring on the complimentary side.

it does appear to have hidden possibilities - but maybe well hidden.

None of the areas here I have been too can compete with the southern cities. There are redundent buildings all over the place and some pretty grotty places can be locatede near these redundant buildings with 'To Let' signs.

Having said that, I think Wolverhampton is one of the cleaner cities for the area. Birmingham is a bit ugh to be honest.

There aresome nice places here, but they have far more worse places than the south if you get what I mean.

Wallsall is the biggest shithole I've been to, so far.

Get yourself off to Abbots Bromley, Aids. It's like Battle, without the traffic.

Or try Lichfield - the finest city in Staffordshire.

I've just found all the snaps I took from the Port Vale game in 2001 - with what was then considered a "decent" digital camera. All 1.5 megapixels worth!

It's not a pretty sight:

It appears that "they" are not a pretty sight. The place looks no worse than several others

 

[Scotty Mac]

You should put all those pictures up on the site again Rozalind, would be hilarious/depressing.
