Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Image Licensing
Original photographs of Stoke-on-Trent, the Potteries and Staffordshire, licensed online for articles, books, newsletters and business use. Instant download, from £9.
Looking for high-quality images of Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire? Genuine, well-shot photographs of the Potteries and North Staffordshire are surprisingly hard to find on the big stock libraries. The Red Haired Stokie fills that gap, with an original and growing collection of Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire images available to licence for both web and print use.
Whether you are a local business, a publisher, a journalist, a blogger, a designer or a heritage organisation, you can licence these images directly from the photographer, quickly and without the mark-ups of a stock agency.
Stock images of Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire
The collection covers the subjects that define the area and that are so often missing elsewhere: the bottle kilns and potbanks of the Potteries, the Six Towns of Stoke-on-Trent, Burslem, Hanley, Longton, Tunstall, Fenton and Stoke, the canals and industrial heritage, local landmarks, churches and town halls, and the wider Staffordshire Moorlands. If you need an authentic image of Stoke-on-Trent or Staffordshire, this is one of the very few places you will find it.
