Yes, they seem to be getting it up as the heart of Stoke. It has plenty of office space, a hotel, the public library and accommodation, and a large supermarket.
Great to see effort being put into the new buildings. In a town that was historically full of art in its pottery, and is now in need of a lot of renovation, these bright colours were very welcome.

Very colorful! It looks rather retro now, but I remember when this sort of building was ultra modern.

I like it and would certainly add a zing amongst the older buildings.

They now call this the heart of Stoke-on-Trent! I think they are trying to hide / forget all the areas that are falling apart.

There should be more colourful buildings in this world. Becky has the questions I was going to ask 😀
