Packmoor, in the northern part of Stoke-on-Trent near Kidsgrove and Newchapel, developed from a rural and mining landscape into a residential community during the 19th and 20th centuries. The area grew alongside coal mining and the expansion of nearby Potteries towns, with housing and local roads gradually spreading across what had once been open countryside and moorland.
This page lists the present and historic streets of Packmoor and links to descriptions of the origins of street names, old maps, local developments, and the changing character of the district over time. From old rural lanes and mining-related development to later residential estates, the streets of Packmoor reflect the changing landscape of the northern Potteries.
Today, Packmoor is mainly residential in character, although its street layout and surviving features still preserve links to the area’s rural origins and mining heritage.
