That changed in 2019 when community group Our Burslem teamed up with Stoke-on-Trent City Council and We Are Culla to transform the exterior of the then empty building.
Part of the Mother Town Marvels project, the vibrant mural featured two versions of the Burslem angel, lyrics of Robbie s biggest hit Angels , and information about the pop mega star.
Our Burslem founder June Cartwright said she felt sad this week to see that the new owners had started painting over the artwork.
