About

Basford and Hartshill form a mix of residential streets, small commercial parades and community facilities within Stoke-on-Trent. Housing ranges from Victorian terraces to post‑war and modern estates, with local shops, primary schools and grouped social services serving everyday needs. Public transport provides regular bus links and short rail journeys to other parts of the city, while community groups run allotments, sports clubs and a neighbourhood centre that hosts events and advice sessions.

Hartshill rises to a line of greenspace known as Hartshill Hayes Country Park, where former quarry faces and sandstone outcrops sit alongside patches of woodland and grassland on the ridge. That landscape creates a clear local landmark and a place for walking, cycling and nature watching within the ward. Industrial traces remain in brick-lined former works and long rows of workers’ housing, which sit near newer development, giving the area a layered character shaped by successive phases of building and reuse.
