Welcome to Farewell

Farewell Staffordshire, a county located in the West Midlands region of England, is known for its rich history and stunning landscapes. The county is home to several historic towns and cities, including Stafford, Lichfield, and Stoke-on-Trent. Staffordshire is also famous for its pottery industry, which has been thriving since the 17th century. The county is home to several pottery factories, including Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, and Spode.

Staffordshire is also known for its beautiful countryside, which is dotted with rolling hills, lush forests, and picturesque villages. The Peak District National Park, which covers parts of Staffordshire, is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The county is also home to several historic landmarks, including the Stafford Castle, the Lichfield Cathedral, and the Alton Towers theme park.

Despite its many attractions, Farewell Staffordshire is a bittersweet goodbye for many. The county has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, with many businesses struggling to stay afloat. The closure of several pottery factories and the decline of the coal mining industry have also had a significant impact on the local economy. Nevertheless, Staffordshire remains a beautiful and historic county, and its people are resilient and determined to overcome the challenges they face.
