am deeply indebted to the patient help of the library staff throughout Staffordshire, and most especially at the William Salt Library in Stafford, Shire Hall Library in Stafford and the Stoke-on-Trent Archives in Hanley.
A huge thanks to Ivor Davies for reading the manuscript, even as it spooled out of my printer. As ever, my wife Pauline did all the household chores while I was up to my armpits in this book. She also acted as research assistant, typist, secretary, carrier of the bags, cracker of the whip, and made 17,328 cups of coffee.
If I have forgotten to thank anyone who helped, then I can only apologise.
hanges in county boundaries over the years always make it difficult to know exactly what qualifies as staffordshire. For example, until recently it included parts of Wolverhampton. Historically, even suburbs of Birmingham were part of the old shire. Boundaries change, and for the sake of keeping to a tight geographical area, I have chosen to use the modern county of Stafford, with the unitary authority of Stoke-on-Trent, as the area covered by this book.
The northern extremity what is loosely called Stoke-on-Trent by those from outside the district (inaccurately, to local minds) was once an area of coal mines and the manufacture of pottery. The towns that made up the area each had its own separate identity still recognised by those who live there, but which is not apparent to the casual observer. Just as Georgian London was segregated from nearby Islington by farmland, so were these bustling industrial centres separated by fields long since gone as one town gradually blended into the next.
Elsewhere in the county, Stafford was a shoemaking town, Lichfield a busy Cathedral city, Burton-on-Trent famed for its beer, and the Staffordshire part of the West Midlands dominated by engineering and heavy industry. However, large swathes of Staffordshire were, and still are, largely rural, especially the Moorlands, which fringe the Peak District. Staffordshire has always mixed industry and agriculture, and to the extent that these two activities exist anywhere in modern Britain, still does to this day.
The canals brought prosperity to the Potteries, ceramic goods being less prone to breakages when transported by water than by packhorse. Then the railways opened the whole world to Staffordshire goods and industry, many of which such as Wedgwood Pottery and Burton Ales became world-renowned. The canal and the railway both feature in different crimes in this book, which essentially covers misdeeds committed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
