Glebe Street in the town centre of Stoke is only a few hundred yards long but contains 14 'listed buildings' (although some are not buildings but tombstones in the church yard) and Brook Street, which runs off Glebe Street contained 5 'listed buildings'.

Glebe Street runs from Church Street (the old turnpike road) at the bottom to the Trent and Mersey Canal and mainline railway at the top. The top end of Glebe Street also crosses the A500 dual carriageway which joins many of the Potteries towns to the M6 motorway. The A500 runs parallel to the Trent and Mersey Canal at this point.

Why the name - Glebe Street?

In the past, parishes were maintained out of the land attached to the church (the glebe) and the revenues from the faithful.... Rectors were not salaried, but held property in the parish as their "living".
