- While shopping in Hanley, I Thought it would be a good opportunity to film for the channel and see if Hanley has improved in the New Year. This is just me and Nick and we walk all around the city of Hanley. The Video was taken at 3.30 pm on a Saturday and the weather was cool and damp. In the video you will see that Hanley has not improved and still lots of dirty areas including a pavement covered in chewing gum. All the old nightclubs are now derelict and look awful.
Hope you all enjoy the video and lets hope that Hanley can improve

I finally moved out of Hanley last year I couldn't take anymore of the druggies and the depressing state the town has become. For a city centre on a Saturday this is pitiful.
I now live in Yorkshire and was the best move I made. Sad to leave in a way. I loved Stoke when I was growing up but now it has nothing to offer.
I remember back in the '80's that a day out in Hanley from Crewe was a highlight, now its like a walking dead filmscape. (All the Potteries tbh)
And Crewe is officially dead. 😂
That's why it made it a good location to film The Girl With All The Gifts there!
When the centre of Hanley was pedestrianised and the Potteries shopping centre opened in March 1988 Hanley was such a nice town centre to visit. It slowly went down hill from 1992 onwards.
The town was fine up until about 2010 and then there's been a steady decline; things have kicked into overdrive in the past three to four years; I have never seen so many homeless people and addicts on the streets.

4m09s. The four stories above Boden's Newsagents was my Uni Halls of Residence- Thompson House- in 2000-2001. Hanley was a great place to live back then, busy at the weekends and the nitelife was absolutely buzzing. It's such a shame to see what has happened.
As you mentioned Boden's I remember that George Boden died a couple of months or so ago.
It is a shame. Hanley was going downhill over 20 years ago when I lived in the city but it's definitely got worse unfortunately.
Nice one mate goldey
I've been to Hanley today,its all so very sad to see whats become if it.
I worry about nicks little toes around them alleyway
What a decline i remember it from the 50s and 60s we used have a great day out with my mother now a sad reflection definitely not a place to visit now unless you want mugged
It's a shame what Hanley has become, it used to be a nice place. Now there are so many boarded up places. The state of the old bus station and all the dustheads around there. Nobody says let's go up 'anley duck anymore.
One a separate rant. Wilko's - there was a public enquiry as to why the Wilkinson family wound up the business.
But, the biggest mistake - closing the business months before Christmas. Don't they realize they could've kept the business afloat for a while longer, if only to get the staff through that difficult period?
They were desperate to offload it, and I bet they personally walked away with lasting assets.
Very sad.
What a shame it’s so sad to see I haven’t been up there for 5 years and I’ve watched so many videos on Hanley. I loved going out up there in the 80/90s it was absolutely packed back in the day 😮, I loved Yates / Chicago Rock / the Place / Quenchers / out in f town pub round the corner 😊
we used to go shopping up there on a sat afternoon
I must go up on a Saturday for a walk around again and see this for myself 😮
you mentioned Telecom building yes your right it’s the BT exchange I’ve worked in there in 90s
Thanks for the Update It’s really not good 😢😢
Phil Green
Thanks for watching much appreciated
As sad and run down as parts of Hanley may look, there is still something verey endearing about it. 'Anybody know if there is aone pub in Hanley where Valiant supporters go on match days?
Hey here for you guys
Aaaaawwwwwww love the dog ❤
I'm guessing yes.
You could be right lol
Not exactly the "metropolis" it used to be is it? .... am surprised with that footfall the shops presently there are still open. Nick won't mind the lack of footfall though ... he looks like he's on a mission bless 'im. ;)
It did used to be that you could consider Hanley/Stoke an in-between for Birmingham and Manchester, like we had some decent chain stores in the Potteries centre and it used to be bustling. Nowadays it's dead. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Potteries centre got used for housing or was bulldozed to make room for housing because there is just so much unused space there.
Nothing changes in hanley
That’s radio stoke in hanley hun
radio stoke there or has signal radio now took it over
Signal Radio is no more sadly
@@si002 he said signal radio ? Thought it was radio stoke still mate
@@lock411 It is BBC Radio Stoke still. Signal Radio operated from Shelton, but they got bought out during the pandemic and are now part of Greatest Hits Radio, it's complete tripe.
Yes it’s radio Stoke not signal and signal is still classed as signal 1 though it has been taken over by the Hits Radio and that’s the only way these stations can stay alive tbh
I still listen to signal 1 whenever I’m in the potteries I remember it when it started in ‘83
If I want to listen to it outside stoke I just use the app
Or I just ask Alexa for signal 1
😊😊😊
Looks terrible and this missable weather all the time never helps
It’s a crying shame… But it’s Happening in every town and city up and down the country… the cost of of Living crisis Doesn’t Help sorry to say…
