The 'Knotty' was one of the most beloved of Britain's pre-grouping
companies. Centred on Stoke-on-Trent, at one time it carried
two-thirds of the country's pottery, as well as partaking in the
lucrative coal and iron trades. It began to build its own carriages
and locomotives at an early date and operated an extensive canal
system, as well as narrow gauge lines including the Leek &
Manifold. Never a wealthy company, it withstood aggressive
take-over attempts from its bigger rivals to maintain its
independent existence until 1923. This book, illustrated with a
wealth of rare images, marks the 100th anniversary of the end of
the railway's independence.
