Evergreens is a former public house which sits on a festering plot of vacant land near Festival Park in Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent. After being known as Evergreens for many years, it spent its final days as some kind of sports & pool bar called ‘Mr Q’s’ and has been closed since the mid-late 00’s. Next to it are some other fairly uninspiring derelict structures, including a residential looking building and an old petrol station and garage which we forgot to look at. The site will eventually be demolished and replaced with a Lidl according to the Stoke Sentinel.
Not a particularly interesting place by any stretch of the imagination, but we found out about it after discovering a friends’ parents actually met here many moons ago. Social and local history is something I find very interesting and also something I find quite important to a particular area, as within time this place will be gone… And it seems a shame for somewhere that’s held many memories and could probably tell many drunken stories to disappear without a trace!

We had a fun game of name the turn-of-the-millennium celeb to end with
