2012 - Canal added to the Conservation Area

The original line of the Burslem Branch Canal was added to the Trent & Mersey Canal Conservation Area in a review undertaken in 2012. The review added a number of former branches and wharves of the Trent & Mersey Canal across the City. Areas of Middleport with strong associations with the canal, such as the terraced streets around Middleport Pottery were added to the Conservation Area at the same time.
