The central part of the Stoke Town Masterplan is the former Spode ceramics works. Established on the site in 1773, the works occupy about 4ha right next to the both old and new town halls. Buildings of varying quality added throughout its life it finally closed in 2009. urbed's job has been to both preserve this invaluable industrial heritage and use it to help re-establish a functioning vibrant town centre. Rarely have we had such an opportunity - to grow back into about 300,000sq.ft of space varying between the intimate and vast, the domestic and the industrial.
