Stoke‐on‐Trent

Japanese: ストーク・オン・トレント(英語表記)Stoke‐on‐Trent
Stoke‐on‐Trent
An industrial city in northern Staffordshire, central England, UK. Population 254,000 (1995). Located on the southwest foot of the Pennines, on the banks of the River Stoke, with coal and clay from the North Staffordshire coalfields as its backdrop, the city is home to many ceramic factories, including Wedgwood, and also produces bricks, tiles, steel, and tyres. It was formed in 1910 by the merger of six towns and villages - Stoke-upon-Trent, Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Longton, and Fenton - all of which were long-established pottery centres.
