For 33 years, The Potteries Shopping Centre has been the heart and hub of Hanley city centre.
The £45 million retail complex opened to customers for the very first time on June 1, 1988. As the blue clock struck 9am, ribbons were cut and customers flooded into the mall.
The Sentinel newspaper reported at the time: "The new multi-million pound Potteries Shopping Centre opened for business today – and within minutes hundreds of eager shoppers flooded through its doors.”
