Fenton Through Time by Mervyn Edwards

The Forgotten Town — Fenton's History in Photographs

Fenton Through Time by Mervyn Edwards shines a long-overdue light on Fenton — the town famously omitted from Arnold Bennett's Five Towns, earning it the enduring nickname 'the Forgotten Town'. Through a carefully curated collection of captioned archive and contemporary photographs, Edwards traces over a century of change in one of Stoke-on-Trent's most overlooked but fascinating communities.

Part of the popular Amberley Through Time series, the format pairs old images with modern equivalents, making the transformation of streets, buildings, industry, and community life vivid and immediate.
