North Staffordshire describes an area of Staffordshire, in the West Midlands region of England. It contains the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire Moorlands and the City of Stoke-on-Trent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=North Staffordshire Profile )〕 The Stoke and Newcastle areas make up The Potteries Urban Area, whilst the Moorlands are largely rural. The Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme had a 2001 census population of 122,040. The population of Stoke-on-Trent was 240,636,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Key Figures for 2001 Census: Key Statistics )〕 whilst the Staffordshire Moorlands population was 94,489.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Key Figures for 2001 Census: Key Statistics )〕 This gave an area wide population of 457,165 at 2001. == Industries == North Staffordshire industries of the 20th century included the potteries (ceramics), coal mining and steel production. Pottery companies from the area include Royal Doulton, Wedgwood, Portmerrion, Wade and the Johnson Brothers, who were all based in the pottery towns in North Staffordshire. By 2002 there had been a complete loss of coal mining and steel production. Ceramics production once employed 70,000 in around 200 firms, but at 2011 there were only 30 large firms remaining. Major employment sectors are now distribution, leisure, online services, higher education, healthcare, engineering, and a diminished ceramics sector. The area has ambitions to develop its high-growth knowledge-based industries in future. The area is also home to JCB Excavators, a major UK manufacturer and local employer.
