About

Barlaston ward is a primarily rural area situated within the Stafford borough, located south-east of the city of Stafford itself. The ward encompasses the village of Barlaston along with surrounding farmland and the grounds of the former Barlaston Hall. The landscape is characterised by open fields and the meandering course of the River Trent, which forms part of its southern boundary. This setting provides a contrast to the more urban character of the neighbouring wards.

A notable landmark is the Wedgwood factory and museum, a site of significant industrial heritage connected to the pottery industry. The area is served by the Barlaston railway station on the Crewe to Derby line. Residential development is largely concentrated within the village, with other land use dominated by agriculture. The ward includes the site of the former Barlaston Colliery, reflecting its historical links to mining as well as ceramics.
