Stoke City Council Customer service centres  Hanley Stoke on Trent Staffordshire One Smithfield Leonards Coates Way ST2 4FA


by RHWL Architects

Promised a “dynamic new city centre business and leisure destination designed for people and the modern occupier”, poor old Stoke ended up with a miserable box dressed in a cheap harlequin costume, a so-bad-it-might-almost-be-fashionable fusion of 80s classics Blockbusters and Connect 4. Or was it inspired by the pattern on the architect’s homepage?
