About
Sculptor: G T Robinson. This life size gilded copper angel holding a laurel wreath stands on top of the old Town Hall in Burslem. The angel was immortalised by Arnold Bennett in his books ‘Clayhanger’ and ‘The Old Wives Tale’ where Burslem is thinly disguised as Bursley. The Angel is also rumoured to have been the inspiration for Robbie Williams’ hit song, Angels, in 1997.
Have your say on public art in the city...
Stoke-on-Trent City Council is creating a register of public art to help inform planning decisions, related to any future regeneration schemes – as well as seeking to understand how people currently engage with public art in Stoke-on-Trent.
The authority already has a 72-strong inventory of public art installations across the city – some of which you can view here on the Visit Stoke website – and it is looking to develop the list even further – with the help of the city’s residents/visitors.
If you are interested in taking part – please click on the following link to complete the survey:

The engagement exercise will run until Wednesday 31 January 2024.
