Map of the UK

Basford & Hartshill sits on the northern edge of Stoke-on-Trent in England, a largely urban area of mixed Victorian terraces, council housing and pockets of more recent development. The neighbourhood is on slightly higher ground than the city centre, with local green spaces and views that give it a semi-suburban feel despite close links by road and bus to the pottery towns nearby.

Locally there’s a strong sense of community shaped by the wider area's industrial past - pottery, coal and railways - and by more recent regeneration and small-scale retail and light industrial activity. Community centres, churches and grassroots groups play an active role in social life, while ongoing housing and public realm improvements reflect efforts to balance heritage with modern needs.
