War Memorial Burslem
« on: Tuesday 17 April 12 14:23 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help me, I am trying to locate a war memorial with a list of the war dead in Burslem Stoke-on-Trent. The main cenotaph in the town centre does not have a list on it.
Thanking you in advance

The exact page I used hasn't copied but just enter Burslem as the keyword.

Thank you for the information.  2004: it was thought that the factory might be demolished, in which case the memorial would be moved to another factory.
 
This factory is now derelict. Does anyone know what happened to the Royal Doulton plaque.

There are two plaques either side of the entrance on the platform of Stoke train station. I can't remember if soldiers from Burslem were included
Stanton of Stafford
Bourne of Stoke-on-Trent
Smith of Stoke-on-Trent
Philpott of Pontesbury
Pugh of Worthen & Pontesbury

Hi,  Believe the two plaques are memorials for railway employees, as  I expected my e-mail to Royal Doulton was returned as undeliverable. Thank you for you input.
