Stoke

Stoke is a town in the city of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. It is the seat of the city's council.

Confusion can arise over the close naming of this town (one of six that form Stoke-on-Trent) to its parent city. The reason for choosing to name the city after one of its towns is not known.

Stoke itself, despite being the nominal central administrative town, is far outclassed by its neighbouring town, Hanley[?], in terms of size, population, shops and business opportunities.

Other towns in Stoke-on-Trent are Hanley[?], Tunstall[?], Burslem[?], Fenton[?] and Longton[?].
