'''Staffordshire''' is a county of the north Midlands in [[England]]. Its population (2006 estimate) is 1.02m and the county town is [[Stafford]]. Until local government reorganisation in 1974 created the county of [[West Midlands]], much of the industrial [[Black Country]] lay in Staffordshire. Now, the main industrial area is that of [[Stoke on Trent]] (known as [[The Potteries]]), famous for its pottery and ceramics manufacture. The remainder of the county is largely rural, and the east, extending into the [[Pennine]] foothills, is hilly. Major towns include Newcastle-under-Lyme, Leek, Uttoxeter, and [[Burton upon Trent]]. The city of [[Lichfield]] is notable for its [[cathedral]], the only [[medieval]] English cathedral with three spires.
