This is the former industrial edge of the beautiful town centre of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent - the rain suddenly poured down just after the man in the foreground had parked his car - if you look closely, you can see the huge rain drops against the three bottle ovens!

For those not familiar with Stoke-on-Trent, if you ever visit the city, forget about the other five of the Six Towns, forget going to the grimey City Centre, just visit Burslem and only Burslem - spend your time taking in the stunning architecture, hisory & creativity around Queen Street and Market Place.
