Fegg Hayes, in the northern part of Stoke-on-Trent, developed from a rural landscape of farms and open land into a residential community closely linked with coal mining and the industrial growth of the Potteries. Much of the district expanded during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with terraces and housing estates built to serve workers employed in nearby collieries and industries.
This page lists the present and historic streets of Fegg Hayes and links to descriptions of the origins of street names, old maps, local developments, and the changing character of the district over time.
