7-15 Queen Street Retail/Craft Workshop Units

The most visible point of the Queen Street project are the five Retail/Craft Workshops, located on the ground floor and fronting at Queen Street which have been brought back into use after being derelict and unused for many years.

The Retail/Craft Workshops units compliment the Live/Work units by offering young creatives/businesses affordable commercial space for business expansion or development, and are intended to be used for designing, making, selling, or a combination of these to suit your business needs.

The types of creative businesses located in these street-front properties are -

Burslem Arts - 7 Queen Street - the only dedicated retailing outlet to support local artists and designer-makers in North Staffordshire, Burslem Arts is run totally by local artists who volunteer their time to keep the place running each day. And thanks to Moorcroft for their kind support

Options Jewellery & Gifts – established in 2007 as an online Fair Trade jewellery business operating in the Burslem area, and decided to develop the business with a retail presence in the town centre in early 2008, one which has proven to be quite a successful enterprise for them.

Unity Stoke – creative young people’s academy Unity Stoke established their presence in Burslem town centre operating from the Queen Street retail unit and the School of Art. Unity Stoke works with young people on a variety of creative arts & development projects and they have won many awards for their work across Stoke-on-Trent.

Burslem Internet - IT Systems & Training has been established by local entrepreneur Paulos Kefle to bring a combined IT training centre, internet café, and computer repair business into the heart of Burslem town centre.
