North Staffordshire Conurbation: Assessment of historical significance 3 FOREWORD The North Staffordshire conurbation is unique. Its historical development - based on mining, ceramics and other manufacturing industries - is unparalleled in any major urban area in the UK. However, these origins were both a boon and a bane for the area. On the one hand they gave North Staffordshire an economic purpose and vitality, which began in the very vanguard of the industrial revolution and created a wealth of world- renowned products whose enduring prestige continues to attract many thousands of visitors each year.
