Residents have started to move into new homes built on a former pottery site in Stoke-on-Trent.

Ten three-bed properties and 12 two-bed apartments have been constructed on land off Newport Lane / Furlong Lane in Burslem which was formerly occupied by Wood & Sons' Stanley Pottery Works and Dalehall Mills.

Councillor Chris Robinson, cabinet member for housing, regeneration and planning, said: "This development reflects our commitment to raising housing standards in the city and ensuring our residents have access to good quality, affordable homes.

"There are many brownfield sites across Stoke-on-Trent which have remained vacant for a long time and we are working hard to enable them to be redeveloped and put to good use in the near future."

These latest homes mark the completion of the overall re-development of the Newport Lane / Furlong Lane site which is now home to 99 properties in total.

Councillor Jane Ashworth, leader of the city council and ward member for Burslem, said: "When I visited this site I was impressed by the quality and size of these properties. They will make lovely new homes for couples and growing families."
