A prominent role in the stories of Arnold Bennett.

            Sitting on the corner of Queen Street and Waterloo Road, Burslem, this early nineteenth century building played a prominent role in the Arnold Bennett books depicting the life of the Clayhanger family.
This was the Clayhanger's Steam Print Works of the novels, and still holds a prominent position in the town centre at the bottom of Swan Square.
The building was occupied by a successful tea merchant, John Eley, who with the proceeds of his business bought many of the surrounding buildings.
The adjacent Kismet is Stoke-on-Trent's oldest Indian restaurant, dating back to 1962.
This building is part of a regeneration scheme, jointly funded by Advantage West Midlands, Heritage Lottery Fund and Stoke-on-Trent City Council. It is grade II listed.
