Travel Guide
Travel to the Stoke on Trent of DI Grace Allendale
A new series from Mel Sherratt and it’s firmly set in Stoke where the author lives. The raw reality of a city Mel is familiar with comes through loud and clear and it’s interesting to see it through Grace’s eyes too:
Bethesda Police station was situated in the street of the same name, at the bottom of the city centre. Before 1910, Stoke-on-Trent was made up of six towns. It became a federated city with a merger in that year, Hanley then becoming the main shopping centre of the Potteries.
Grce had already been told by several disgruntled members of the public that Hanley was not, and never would be, Stoke-on-Trent’s city centre as it was known on sigh pots. Stoke was the centre, it was where the railway station as situated and where the civic centre had been until recently. But to her. Stoke was a drive-through town with a few roads. It seemed that most of the money and resources were focused on Hanley, where was great for where she was based.
