A Jack of all trades!
This property was apparenty originally built as a private dwelling on the corner of Broad Street and Bird Cage Walk, Hanley, close to the junction with Marsh Street South. The premises was then run as a dentists. Eventually the upstairs was taken over by the local branch of TWGU (Transport and General Workers Union) who then vacated and the local Mine workers union Power Group NUM took over in the early seventies. I remember the ground floor being used by the Provident Personal Credit company, but it was also part of the Co-operative Bank and a local rates offices too. This double fronted house was originally built in 1878.
In 1912 this building was apparently occupied by the Bristish Gas Light Co.
My mum used to work here for the Provident many years ago.
