the Six Towns noun[plural]- six former towns in the Potteries region of the English Midlands. The towns were Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke-upon-Trent, Fenton and Longton. They were close to each other and were important centres of the pottery industry from the seventeenth century until, in 1910, they joined together as one town, Stoke-on-Trent. Fictionalized as ‘the Five Towns ’, they became well known as the setting for the novels of Arnold Bennett.英国中部陶器地区的六个前城镇。这些城镇包括滕斯托尔、布尔斯勒姆、汉利、特伦特河畔斯托克、芬顿和朗顿。它们彼此靠近,从 17 世纪起一直是重要的陶器工业中心,直到 1910 年它们合并为一个城镇,即特伦特河畔斯托克。它们被虚构为“五座城镇”,作为阿诺德·贝内特小说的背景而闻名。
