For a small but in-depth study of a small location can have its benefits and St. Thomas Place, Penkhull, formerly called Victoria Place does. The houses are diverse as well as the occupiers in status and occupations which can create a small nucleus but informative group of houses across the spectrum of a social network of the period that makes it so interesting. Again, a perfect choice for a local history project as well as a good project for schools which will produce significant information even on a small group of properties, large and small.
cen 9 1861 census Ball Green, Stoke-on-Trent
£3.00As partr of a local project the 1861 census is a valuable tool as this lists all the details available to the time of people. In the small community of only 147 on the census tells us of the many family connections there are and if each of those families worked in the local coal mine.
However, its interesting to note that most of the managers came from different areas and not ‘home grown’
