Burslem Town Hall, viewed through the ruin of The Leopard, Burslem

The image offers a poignant view of Burslem Town Hall, an enduring symbol of Victorian ambition, seen through the crumbling ruins of The Leopard Hotel. The Town Hall, erected in 1857, stands as a proud reminder of Burslem's historical status as the 'Mother Town' of the Potteries.

In contrast, The Leopard, which dates back to the 18th century, fell victim to a devastating fire, leading to its current derelict state. Once a lively meeting place for pottery workers and a central figure in the social life of the town, The Leopard's ruin now echoes the town's complex history of industrial vigour, community spirit, and the challenges of preservation.

The contrast between survival and ruin encapsulates the narrative of Burslem's heritage as it looks to the future while remembering its past.
