True to its meaning?

The Congress Inn on the corner of Sutherland Road and Bridgewater Street, close to the town centre of Longton in Stoke-on-Trent.

The pub dates back to 1878 when it was built to service the nearby brewery of Glover's who purchased the land for this use.

Sitting beside the Parkhall Works old potbank and flanked by the ranges belonging to Aynsley China, this is one of the few public houses left open which were so strongly associated with their neighbouring pottery manufacturers and the thirsty staff and workers that they provided.
