Tunstall, Staffordshire

Tunstall is one of the six towns of the city of Stoke on Trent. It is the most northern town in the city.





Iron was being produced in the town since approx. 1280. Old tile making and brick making sites were all around the area some dating back to the middle ages. Also Tunstall formed an important part of the pottery industry with the likes of H & R Johnson-Richardson Tiles still in the area. Chatterley Whitfield mines were close by to provide coal.

There are also more modern housing estates around the area which have been built in recent years. The most famous person from Tunstall in modern times is the singer Robbie Williams who grew up and was educated in the Tunstall area.
