History The Church Lawton Barrows form part of a significant Bronze Age site near the town, though in the neighbouring civil parish and village of Church Lawton.[6] Alsager ('Eleacier' in the Domesday Book) was a small farming village until the 19th century when due to its rail connections and rural character, it became a home of choice for pottery works managers from the nearby Federation of Six Towns which later became the city of Stoke-on-Trent.[7] During World War II a large armaments factory was built outside the town at Radway Green, and it was expanded dramatically to house the influx of factory workers. In the 1960s baby boomers, often qualified in sciences or mathematics, moved to the area to work at ICL in Kidsgrove. The Bronze Age is a period in a civilizations development when the most advanced metalworking has developed the techniques of smelting copper from natural outcroppings and alloys it to cast bronze. ...
