Well this all strikes a chord as I was brought up at in Brakespeare St. in the sixties/seventies, though I left the Potteries thirty years ago. We relied on Jeffreys buses to go on holiday every year to Blackpool. The “banks” and the fields beyond the allotments made an idyllic childhood playground as they continued uninterrupted all the way to Newchapel in those days (the open-cast mine brought a stop to all that). Simon Finney, whose parents owned the newsagents during the 70’s was a mate, as was Robert Jones, who’s mum owned the High St. Sweet shop IIRC. My family were big church-goers and thanks to Paul for reminding me of Mr Hancock, Mr Beech and may I add Mr Wakefield. I laugh when people go on about mod-cons etc and wonder how they would have coped with our tin-baths, outdoor loos, open-fires and hot water-bottle amenities, lol! SkyTv may have its place, but watching Neil Armstrong on an old B&W set, with a rack full of washing suspended from the ceiling above your head is hard to beat!
