All - Longport is very much a place - both old and current. I take it most of the people talking on this subject are not British and therefore don’t know the Potteries environment. I strongly suggest the use of www.streetmap.co.uk for the look up of names. Try inputting LONGPORT as a GB place and you are presented with two options Longport - City of Stoke on Trent Longport Station - Stoke on Trent Click either as they are the same place. Zoom in and you will find that Longport is to the west of Burslem and close to St Paul's church, which is in Middleport. If you follow the canal from Longport Northwards you will eventually come to Astbury. The interchange of people between Staffordshire and Cheshire has always happened and continues to this day.

Hello, Astbury is in Cheshire! There does not seem to be a Longport as a place, it could of course have been an old district!
