Staffordshire

Staffordshire (/ˈstæfərdʃɪər, -ʃər/;[2] postal abbreviation Staffs.) is a


landlocked ceremonial county in the West Midlands of England. It
borders Cheshire to the northwest, Derbyshire to the east,
Warwickshire to the southeast, the West Midlands county and
Worcestershire to the south, as well as Shropshire to the west. The
largest settlement is the city of Stoke-on-Trent; the county town is
Stafford.

The county is a mix of rural and urban, with an area of 1,713 square
kilometres (661 sq mi) and a population of 1,131,052. After Stoke-
on-Trent (258,366), the largest settlements are Tamworth (78,646),
Newcastle-under-Lyme (75,082) and Burton upon Trent (also
spelled Burton-upon-Trent, 72,299). Lichfield (33,816) is also a city.
The county contains nine districts: eight are part of a two-tier non-
metropolitan county also called Staffordshire, whereas the district
of Stoke-on-Trent is a unitary area. The county historically included
the northwest of the West Midlands county, including Dudley,
Walsall and Wolverhampton.
Staffordshire is hilly to the north and south.

Staffordshire having a thin protrusion passing between the county
boroughs (to the east) and Shropshire, to the west, to form a short
border with Worcestershire.

Under the Local Government Act 1972, on 1 April 1974, the county
boroughs of the Black Country and the Aldridge-Brownhills Urban
District of Staffordshire became, along with Birmingham, Solihull,
and Coventry and other districts, a new metropolitan county of
West Midlands. County boroughs were abolished, with Stoke
becoming a non-metropolitan district in Staffordshire, and Burton
forming an unparished area in the district of East Staffordshire. On
1 April 1997, under a recommendation of the Banham Commission,
Stoke-on-Trent became a unitary authority independent of
Staffordshire once more.

In July 2009, the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold ever found in


Britain was discovered in a field near Lichfield. The artefacts,
known as The Staffordshire Hoard, have tentatively been dated to
the 7th or 8th centuries, placing the origin of the items in the time
of the Kingdom of Mercia.

Some nationally and internationally known companies have their


base in Staffordshire. They include the Britannia Building Society
which is based in Leek. JCB is based in Rocester near Uttoxeter
and Bet365 which is based in Stoke-on-Trent. The theme park Alton
Towers is in the Staffordshire Moorlands and several of the world's
largest pottery manufacturers are based in Stoke-on-Trent. The
town of Burton upon Trent is known for its beer brewing industry
with several major brands such as Carling, Cobra and Marston's
brewed there.

Education
Staffordshire has a completely comprehensive system with eight
independent schools. Most secondary schools are from 11 to 16 or
18, but two in Staffordshire Moorlands and South Staffordshire are
from 13 to 18. Resources are shared where appropriate.

There are two universities in the county, Keele University west of


Newcastle-under-Lyme and Staffordshire University, which has
campuses in Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, London, Lichfield and
Shrewsbury.[8]

Sport
The modern county of Staffordshire currently has three
professional football clubs – Stoke City and Port Vale, both from
Stoke-on-Trent, and Burton Albion, who play in Burton upon Trent.

Stoke City, one of the oldest professional football clubs in


existence, were founded in 1863 and played at the Victoria Ground
for 119 years from 1878 until their relocation to the Britannia
Stadium (now named the Bet365 Stadium) in 1997. They were
among the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888.[9]
By the late 1930s, they were established First Division members
and boasted arguably the finest footballer in England at the time in
right-winger Stanley Matthews, who had two spells with the club
between 1930 and his retirement in 1965 at the age of 50.[10] In
1972, the club finally won a major trophy when they lifted the
Football League Cup,[11] but after relegation from the First Division
in 1985 they would not experience top flight football for 23
years.[12] After spending some two decades bouncing between the
second and third tiers of the English league, they finally reclaimed
their top flight status in 2008 by securing promotion to the Premier
League.[13] Stoke City reached their first FA Cup final in 2011, but
lost to Manchester City.[14]

Port Vale, who like Stoke City play in Stoke-on-Trent, were formed in
1876 and became members of the Football League in 1892. After
more than 70 years at various stadiums around the city, the club
moved to its present home, Vale Park, in 1950. In early 1936, they
had eliminated First Division champions Sunderland from the FA
Cup. Another FA Cup success came in February 1988 when they
eliminated seven-time winners Tottenham Hotspur from the
competition. Promotion to the Second Division for the first time
since the 1960s was secured in 1989, and Vale would spend nine of
the next 11 years at this level. However, the club has been less
successful since the turn of the 21st century, and suffered
relegation to League Two – the fourth tier of the English league – in
2008. The club has seen an upturn in its fortunes as the club was
promoted to League One in the 2012–13 season. In the 2016-17
season Port Vale were relegated back to League Two.[15]

West Bromwich Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Walsall are


also notable clubs based in the historic county boundaries.

The county's other professional football team is Burton Albion,


based in Burton upon Trent, who currently play in League One.
The county has a number of non-league football clubs, including
Tamworth,[16] Stafford Rangers,[17] Hednesford Town[18] and Leek
Town.[19]

In cricket, Staffordshire is one of the nineteen Minor counties of


English and Welsh cricket. It is represented in Minor counties
cricket by Staffordshire County Cricket Club who have played in the
Minor Counties Championship since 1895, a competition which it
has won outright eleven times, making it the most successful
Minor counties team. Famous international cricketers produced by
the county include Sydney Barnes, Bob Taylor and Dominic Cork, all
of whom went on to represent England.

Geography

Mow Cop Castle on the Staffordshire


Moorlands

In the north and in the south, the county is hilly, with the southern
foothills and uplands of the Pennines in the north, with parts of it in
the Peak District National Park,[20] and Cannock Chase an area of
natural beauty in the south. Most of the northern upland terrain is in
the Staffordshire Moorlands district. In the middle regions, the
landscape is low and undulating. Throughout the entire county
there are vast and important coalfields. In the southern part, there
are also rich iron ore deposits. The largest river is the Trent. The
soil is chiefly clay and agriculture was not highly developed until the
mechanisation of farms.

Staffordshire is home to the highest village in Britain, Flash. The


village, in the Staffordshire Moorlands, stands at 1,519 ft (463 m)
above sea level. This record was confirmed in 2007 by the
Ordnance Survey after Wanlockhead in Scotland also claimed the
record. The BBC's The One Show investigated the case in a bid to
settle the argument and Flash was confirmed as the higher of the
two. The highest point in Staffordshire is Cheeks Hill.[21]

Green belt

Staffordshire contains sectors of three green belt areas, two of


which surround the large conurbations of Stoke-on-Trent and the
West Midlands, and were first drawn up from the 1950s. All the
county's districts contain some portion of belt.

Demographics
According to the 2001 Census the population of the Non-
metropolitan Staffordshire is 806,744 and the population of Stoke-
on-Trent was 240,636 making a total population of 1,047,380. In
non-metropolitan Staffordshire, White British is the largest ethnicity,
making up 96% of the population. This is followed by Irish, making
up 0.6%. Non-White citizens make up 2% of the population. The
largest Non-White ethnic group are British Pakistanis.[22] 94% of the
population was born in England, and those born in Scotland and
Wales together make up 1% of the total population.[23]

Mow Cop. He originally followed the Wesleyan form of Methodism
but in 1801 he reformed the Methodist service by conducting it
outside. By 1811 with his brother he founded the first chapel in the
Tunstall area of Stoke-on-Trent.[29]
Judaism

The most popular synagogue in the county is on London Road in


Newcastle-Under-Lyme, which opened in 2006 and replaced the

of Staffordshire,[31] and 83 in Stoke-on-Trent.[32]

Islam

There are 15 mosques in Stoke-on-Trent, 5 in Burton-upon-Trent


and 1 in both Stafford and Lichfield.[33] As of 2019 a new mosque

Hanley area of Stoke-on-Trent and is the first purpose-built mosque
in the area. At the 2001 census there were 7,658 Muslims in Stoke-
on-Trent and 6,081 in the rest of Staffordshire, with a total of
13,739 making up 1.3% of the population. 62.9% (3823) of the
Muslims in the rest of Staffordshire are from the town of Burton-
upon-Trent.[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]

borders. Stafford railway station is at a junction with the line to
Birmingham New Street, a major hub, and is predominantly served
by London Northwestern Railway. Stoke-on-Trent railway station is
the busiest station in Staffordshire [42] and is served by long-

Manchester. This station is also the terminus of the North
Staffordshire line to Derby via Uttoxeter, which narrowly avoided
closure in the 1960s. Stone railway station opened in 2008.

Roads

The county has relatively good links to the national roads network.
Several major roads intersect the county, making it a popular

10 is in Tamworth and the motorway heads southwest towards
Birmingham. The M6 runs north–south through the county, which
contains junctions 10A–16. The M6 Toll, the UK's first toll
motorway, runs through the county with junctions in Weeford near
Lichfield, Cannock and joins the M6 south of Stafford.

The A5 and A34 run through the county. The former has been
significantly widened to a dual carriageway at several sections,
although much of it remains single carriageway.
