About

May Bank is a residential district of Newcastle-under-Lyme, situated on the raised ground that gives the area its name. The neighbourhood is made up of a mix of housing types, with a main parade of shops, a primary school, a pub and a community centre serving day-to-day needs. Small parks and playing fields are woven into the streets, and a few lanes rise up from the lower ground towards the town, reflecting the local topography. The built form and street pattern show layers of development from the early 20th century to later council housing phases.

Local bus services link May Bank with Newcastle town centre and with routes into Stoke-on-Trent, making commuting and shopping straightforward. Community groups use the centre and sports pitches for activities and occasional events, and a network of short footpaths gives direct pedestrian routes through the neighbourhood. The area is mainly residential in character but retains practical local services that keep everyday life close to home.
