Tunstall Streets Past & Present

Tunstall, the northernmost of the six towns of Stoke-on-Trent, developed from a small settlement into an important industrial and commercial centre during the rapid growth of the Potteries in the 18th and 19th centuries. 

The town became closely associated with pottery manufacture, coal mining, ironworking, and trade, with extensive housing and commercial streets built to support its expanding industries and population.

This page lists the present and historic streets of Tunstall 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 market routes and pottery works to Victorian terraces, civic buildings, and later suburban development, the streets of Tunstall reflect the industrial and social history of the northern Potteries.

Today, Tunstall remains an important part of Stoke-on-Trent, where historic streets and surviving landmarks continue to illustrate the town’s industrial heritage and its role in the development of the Potteries.
