Stafford - A History & Celebration

Its surroundings are pleasant without being spectacular: 90% of Staffordshire is rural, and nowhere in the town, not even in the very centre, is one ever far from the countryside.

Stafford - A History & Celebration

The town also has an association with Skarzysko/Kamienna in Poland. Like everywhere else, Stafford is changing. Until perhaps halfway through the last century the majority of people living in the town
