Stone, in Staffordshire, had a population of around 17,000 at the 2021 census — a market town that grew up around one of Britain's pioneering canals.
A town built by the canal age
Stone sits on the Trent & Mersey Canal, engineered in large part by James Brindley and opened in stages during the 1770s. The canal made Stone an important staging point for boats travelling between the Midlands and the Potteries, and the town's brewing and boat-building trades grew up around that traffic.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Stone shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — many Stone shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Stafford or Stoke-on-Trent for a wider selection.
