Moving Mountains - The Story of Land Reclamation in Stoke on Trent Historical Film DVD
A remarkable collection of documentary films and interviews charting the transformation of Stoke-on-Trent's landscape over 20 years — from industrial dereliction to thriving green spaces.
Covering the period from 1968, the films begin with footage from the era of coal firing, setting the scene for the enormous planning challenges ahead. Joe Monks-Neill — architect of some of the city's most significant reclamation schemes — guides viewers through the vision and determination that drove the work of Stoke-on-Trent City Council's Planning Team.
Key sites featured include:
- Hanley Deep Pit → Central Forest Park
- Westport Lake
- Former mineral lines converted into a network of public walkways
- Park Hall Country Park
- Shelton Bar Iron and Steelworks → National Garden Festival 1986 → Festival Park
Drawing on rare archive film and first-hand interviews with the people who made it happen, Moving Mountains tells the impressive and inspiring story of how Stoke-on-Trent reclaimed its land — and created the network of green spaces enjoyed by the city today.
