Mill Hill, in the northern part of Stoke-on-Trent near Tunstall and Little Chell, developed from a rural landscape of fields and scattered dwellings into a residential district during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The area gradually expanded as the Potteries grew, with new housing and local routes extending into what was once open countryside.
This page lists the present and historic streets of Mill Hill and links to descriptions of the origins of street names, old maps, local developments, and the changing character of the district over time. From former field boundaries and early lanes to later residential streets and housing estates, the streets of Mill Hill reflect the northward expansion of the Potteries.
Today, Mill Hill is mainly residential in character, with its street layout still reflecting traces of its earlier rural landscape and the gradual development of the area within Stoke-on-Trent.
