I live in Medina, Ohio. My mother Catherine Baker, her brother Jack and sister Mary grew up in Home Cottage, Mill Gardens Sydenham with their parents. If I'm not mistaken the house was built in 1844. I believe it has been in our family most if not all of those years. My mother married Eric Tompkins from Chelmsford around 1940. My parents and my sisters Barbara and Pauline then moved to Canada around 1949. My Aunt Mary passed away in January 2002 after the death of her brother Jack. We sold Home Cottage in 2003. My reason for writing is we have many photographs from the area and I would be happy to share if there is an interest

Unity House up Hanley.
We called it K9 as kids, because from Burslem it looked just like Dr Who's dog K9.
It was condemned not that long after it was built as it was structurally unsafe, I remember the entrance had a temporary walkway covered in tarpaulin to protect pedestrians from falling masonry, and loads of the windows were boarded up because they had shattered under the strains that should have been dissipated ( blimey.... ) by the structural columns that were not up to the job. They ended up putting huge steel bands as a sort of corset to strengthen it, but ultimately it was vacated and demolished
