"The village of Tunstall was described in 1795 as 'the pleasantest village in the pottery' It developed rapidly after 1816.... The market-place was laid out in 1816 and formed the centre of the growing town. Forty small houses in two terraces running west from the market-place were built in 1821 by the Tunstall Building Society. 

These houses in Piccadilly and Paradise Street contained a front and back room on each of the two floors with a privy and an ashpit in the diminutive walled garden at the rear. Wash houses or sculleries appear to have been added beyond the back doors of many of the houses at a later date. A narrow cobbled footway runs between the yards of the two terraces and is crossed by a passage entered through an archway in the centre of each row. Above the arches are oval plaques bearing the street names and the date."

After the narrative above virtually all the houses have been demolished. Two however have survived in Paradise Street as the 'Paradise Inn'
