Leek, Staffs, UK: Queen of the Moorlands
Created | Updated Mar 17, 2002
It is a little known but non-the-less refreshingly interesting fact that the little dangly bits found encircling the bottom of posh lampshades are manufactured in Leek, Staffordshire. (Not far from "The Potteries")
LEEK
*One small market town in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
*One main street with lots of little ones off it.
*One Woolworths and One Boots but NO Comet, Currys, Dixons, M&S, BHS, C&A,Body Shop, Debenhams, W H Smith, Menzies, ToysRus, Sainsburys, Tescos, etc etc - I could go on!!
