In Focus: Goldenhill

Goldenhill is located in northern Stoke, between Tunstall and Kidsgrove.

Goldenhill took its name from the big hill in the centre of town, which people used to stand on top of and have a piss. It was seen as a sign of good luck if you could rotate yourself around 360 degrees whilst doing one long unbroken circle of piss around you.

People from Goldenhill are known as "hill folk".

Goldenhill's official motto is "Canis est Agricola", which means "the dog is a farmer".

The average person in Goldenhill eats four crispy pancakes per week.

Pimping is legal in Goldenhill as long as you are pimping people you are related to.

Spaceships are outlawed in Goldenhill and aliens are to be killed on sight.

It is traditional in Goldenhill to smear gravy on your face before eating your Sunday lunch.

The phrase "Chinny reckon" was invented by Goldenhill native Barry Gobblesworth.

Pop star Robbie Williams grew up in the area.
