Coachmakers Arms in Hanley - petition
The Coachmakers Arms in Hanley is under the threat of demolition due to development. If you do not know the pub it a cracking, friendly little place with four individual rooms, the way proper pubs used to be before they were “themed”. Another bit of how Stoke-on-Trent used to be that will be gone forever. There is an online petition to save it at www.thecoachmakers.co.uk .
