May and Mar lady was a cartoon in the Sentinel newspaper. It was written by Wilf Bloor who was an expert on dust control at the BCRA (British Ceramic Research Association) at Penkhull.He lived a Scot Hay and later Audley. He wrote under the name of Jabez and also said his surname was Scot . I worked in the Ceramics Industry in the 1960's and often went to the BCRA where I once remember him giving a talk on Dust Control. I also lived at Audley and knew his son who was my age and we went to the same Grammar school. You could tell within a couple of miles where a person came from a Tunstall accent was a lot different from a Longton one.

I miss this place

God bless we’ve lost it all….🇬🇧

Love the people of the Potteries and the dialect, having lived there for a few years in the 1980s. It’s a tragedy that so many industries were allowed to disappear there- it didn’t have to be that way

I rember me nan yoused read them comic strips out paper

I still am here in year5😢i cant belive how early this school was made I love this school😊

Done a great job Alan

Dead hole longton

Dumb & DUMBER decision makers at it again!!! Career chasing theorist FOOLS in office, Appalling!!!

I came from Sussex to the Potteries in 1973 to work down the pit and had to learn a whole new language ! The dialects [more than one] was ever present and strongest down the pit - happy days ! I found potteries folk the friendliest in the country and after 17 years there, I was sorry to have to leave for Yorkshire.... and a new language to learn.

Did any of these plans come to fruition?

Im so glad this has been done !

Longton has gotten worse since then, the precinct area is literaly dead. 1:12 I dont think the stand is there anymore. Getting fed up with developers getting paid money to make plans to regenerate places like Longton, make a big fuss over it and then find nothing gets improved or developed.

Stoke On Trent, nowhere else like it. Sadly nothing more than a ghost of its former self. Pits gone, pot banks gone, steelworks gone. Not many real Stokies left anymore, most have moved away because there is nothing to stay for. In 2022 over 70% of the people are now immigrants from Romania, Poland, Africa, Pakistan and the countries of the Middle East. The dialect is almost gone now, just a few of us older ones still speak it, anyone under 50 years of age hasn't got a clue.

This man is a living legend.

So this must what my great-great-grandparents talked like.

Regeneration Officer, that must be a thankless task given the utter mess the council have made over the last 40 years. I once lived in Dresden Street in Hanley. The council, at that time, devastated the area and community in some grandiose plan to build, well, something. The whole thing stunk of corruption and the area never recovered. I'm sure Stoke council aren't unusual in being corrupt, incompetent and a menace to everyone in the city but that doesn't excuse the blunders, wasted money and stupidity. I hope for once things get better but Stoke needs a joined up strategy not piecemeal hotchpotch developments.

Proud to be a stokie ❤️

lol , he aint done a very good job then , its a right dump and ghost town

Still waiting for the regeneration.

It was amazing when they finished setting up the inside

3:23 "why? what's up with the way I speak? everyone know what I'm talkin' bout don't they?"

This guy is deluded. Give Langton to the illegal immigrants.

Langton has always been a shit hole.

One top guy

Every person in this video is a cunt

What a lovely story, reminds me so much of thee olde days of hearing stories from my nana and elderly neighbours from many years ago. RIP xx

Puts the video file extension on while uploading.

I've been watching this guy on a Pride In The Pits dvd I've got. Now I know a bit more of his story. God bless him and all the lost miners.

I’m from India and I met a great friend from Stoke-on-Trent through periscope like 5 years ago and when we speak on phone i can’t understand like 50% of his words. I always insist on texting instead.

It's interesting. Unique, stylish.

Fred Hughes is NOT AN HISTORIAN

Excellent film, really appreciate being able to learn about working peoples history Thanks

Guess what - your accent is bloody awful.

Thank you so much sweetheart xx

I am in

Glad to see they are recycling but all so sad, I just wonder whether they really needed to be demolished. My Mother was scrubbing the floor in the house she was born in, in John Street ( Northwood) she was the youngest of ten in a two up two down. Not many of the ten survived, all born and passing away in that house as did her Mother. sorry, she was srubbing the marley tiled floor as the wrecking ball swung at the house, thankfully someone spotted her .

I hated this school ugh year 1 oh myyyyyyyy

My ears are bleeding! That accent is horrendous.

Dunna fret, "Arayte ode, where thee goin to? oh ah i'm going wom duck...oh ah going to ave thee snappin? aye." (i'm a meir lad) i still keep the Stoke dialect alive even though i now live in Bristol, it's fun to educate people on what the fuck i'm going on about ;) x

this has brought back a lot of memories and nostalgia, 9 years ago. i was 7

you can take our industry, our dialect and our accent.........but you will never take our oatcakes

That horrendous stokie accent

It needed knocking down! The problem is the council knocks housing down before it has a plan to replace them! But the pavements in Hanley are wonderful! The lord paedo mayor et Al should be voted out asap!

Ah jam landers and neck Enders , Shame it means nothing to most

Cos kick a bow agen a wow
