Photographs by Nigel Henderson: various Stoke pictures.

As well as visiting the steel works and the Stoke City F.C. parking ground, it appears he also got on a bus and went to Cobridge for some reason, presumably to try to photograph Arnold Bennett’s home at No. 205. But he only photographed the Stag Inn at No. 114 – he was perhaps thinking that that was the pub where the young Bennett would have supped? Or was No. 205 nearby, on the side of the road on which he stood?

Two pictures (from a stopped bus?) of lads playing lunchtime football at a pot-bank.

A nice bit of pavement edging that caught his eye.

I think he probably made this picture just as an interesting composition. Looks like a water-tank building for a small works, perhaps part of an abandoned pot-bank he ventured into?
