About

Longton West sits at the heart of Longton town centre, one of the six towns that form Stoke-on-Trent. The area contains shops, a covered market and civic facilities, and several buildings that reflect the town’s pottery past. On Lawton Road the Gladstone Pottery Museum preserves working bottle kilns, potters’ cottages and original steam-powered machinery, giving a direct link to the manufacturing processes that shaped the neighbourhood. Street patterns include short terraces and larger late-19th-century houses, with small retail parades serving daily needs.

Sandford Hill lies immediately to the west and north-west of Longton town centre and is primarily residential. The neighbourhood includes primary schools, local parks and community halls, with housing ranging from post-war semi-detached streets to earlier terraces. Local shops and pubs are clustered along the main routes that connect Longton to the rest of the city, while footpaths and small green strips provide short walks between streets. Planning and community groups in the ward focus on maintaining services and adapting former industrial sites for new uses.
