Proposed merge with The Potteries Urban Area - two articles one topic. Saga City (talk) 12:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Potteries Urban Area and the Staffordshire Potteries are not the same place or the same topic. The Staffordshire Potteries was the old name for what is now the City of Stoke-on-Trent; famous for the pottery it still makes to a limited extent. The Potteries Urban Area is a name recently invented by statisticians for the conurbation which includes Newcastle-under-Lyme and Kidsgrove {though neither were pottery manufacturing towns) as well as Stoke-on-Trent. There is no case for merger. NoelWalley (talk) 13:46, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
