Volcano under Stoke-on Trent?

Houses in Stoke-on-Trent could be heated by geothermal energy by 2019

A dormant volcano 350 million years old is believed to be heating rocks and water to more than 105°C (220°F) underground

Less than two miles beneath Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, is a layer of rocks heating water to up to 105 degrees Celsius.

Experts think it is so hot because it is linked to volcanic activity back in the Devonian period.

This heated water could be brought to the surface and used to heat homes

Only one currently exists in the UK at the moment, in Southampton

Stoke City Council will invest £52m ($85m) in the project starting in 2016
