The redevelopment of the historic Spode works in Stoke town has been underway for a number of years with Stoke-on-Trent City Council leveraging different funding sources. This has enabled the development of a hotel and eatery, creative artists’ studios in partnership with ACAVA and currently a ‘Gaming Hub’ with the University of Staffordshire and private sector digital companies as part of the ‘Silicon Stoke’ programme. Stoke town is also a High Street Heritage Action Zone, with Spode works providing anchorage to the high street to offer alternative uses and become a stronger destination driver.
