Rookery, Stoke On Trent, ST7 4RP

Rookery is situated in the ST 7 postal district of Stoke‑On‑Trent. The Trent and Mersey Canal, a 93½‑mile narrow canal that was fully opened in 1771, passes through the area. The canal has historically been linked to the industrial development of the region, notably the factory village of Etruria on the outskirts of Stoke‑On‑Trent, which was built by Wedgwood and is close to the canal. The canal is a narrow waterway for most of its length, with wider sections near Burton upon Trent and Middlewich. The proximity to this canal provides a notable historical and recreational feature for residents of Rookery.
