Stoke-on-Trent is made up of 5 towns which were joined. On of these is Burslem.
The surrounding area has a Bursley Way, a Bursley Road, and a Bursley Ale House and a fast food place called the bursley burslem.
Apparently author Arnold Bennet [1867 - 1931] called Buslem Bersley. It may be that place name was a bit more than his imagination.
It is in Staffordshire, but near Cheshire.
