Learn more about hotels in Hanley

Hanley has a rich history dating back to its inception as one of six towns that amalgamated to form Stoke-on-Trent. Its reputation as the de facto city centre stems from its bustling commercial hub brimming with high street chain stores and the popular Potteries Shopping Centre. The town has always held significant prominence—in 1888 it became a county borough and remained so until its federation with Stoke-on-Trent in 1910.

Despite the town's urban appeal, it boasts a fair share of natural attractions too. The coal mine turned Central Forest Park is a testament to the town's industrial history, while the rejuvenated land from the 1986 Stoke-on-Trent Garden Festival represents its environmental recovery efforts. Today, Hanley comes alive with its modern bus station, cultural attractions like the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, and memorable events like the annual Stoke Pride.
