In this episode, we shine a spotlight on the legendary Leopard Inn, Burslem, a once-thriving public house and hotel with a captivating past.
As we embark on this journey through time, we diligently trace the Leopard Inn's history, unearthing records and anecdotes that date back over 300 years or more.
