Eyesore Factory Buildings Tumble Down
17 Sep
Summary
- Demolition started on two former factory buildings in Stoke-on-Trent.
- The derelict Etruria site has been an eyesore for years.
- Demolition work will be carried out in phases to minimize impact.
Demolition work is now underway on two former factory buildings in Stoke-on-Trent, located in Etruria. These structures, part of the Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone, have been described as an "eyesore" and a potential collapse risk for many years.
The council granted permission for the demolition this summer. The derelict site, which has accumulated significant industrial material, was also the site of a major fire 14 years ago.
Local MP Gareth Snell has previously stated the site's condition negatively affected investment negotiations for the city. The demolition will proceed in phases to lessen the impact on the local community and surrounding areas.
