Signs of relocation.

A look down Chelson Street (formerly Bagnall Street) from Uttoxeter Road in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.

The old pottery factory on the right, the Stanley Works, dates back to 1898 and was first operated by the Plant Brothers who had relocated from their former factory in Burslem.

The premises then traded as the New Chelsea Porcelain Co. from 1912, which became a limited company in 1951 and continued to operate until 1961. In the iterim New Chelsea Porcelain Co. Ltd aquired the business of Jackson & Gosling Ltd and operated from this works until 1969 as Grosvenor China Ltd.

The old building now operates under the title of Stoke Studio College for Construction & Business Excellence, with Quantum Fabrications operating from the building to the rear.

The building on the left of the street is the redevelopment of the old Enson Works to form the CoRE (Centre of Refurbishment Excellence) project.

Normact Road runs past the lower end of the street.
