Fenton Streets Past & Present

Fenton, one of the six towns of Stoke-on-Trent, developed from a small settlement into an important industrial and residential centre during the rapid growth of the Potteries in the 18th and 19th centuries. The town became closely associated with pottery manufacture, coal mining, engineering, and transport links, with many streets laid out to serve expanding industries and the growing population.

This page lists the present and historic streets of Fenton and links to descriptions of the origins of street names, old maps, local developments, and the changing character of the district over time. From early turnpike roads and pottery works to Victorian terraces and later suburban growth, the streets of Fenton reflect the industrial and social history of the Potteries.

Today, Fenton remains a busy and mainly residential town, where many historic streets and buildings continue to illustrate its importance in the development of Stoke-on-Trent.
