Penkhull & Springfields

Penkhull & Springfields is a primarily residential ward situated on a hill overlooking the city centre to the south. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from Victorian terraces to modern developments, alongside local shops and services along its main roads. It contains several schools and community spaces, including the grounds of the former St. Joseph’s College, contributing to its everyday function as a settled neighbourhood.

The ward's elevated position provides clear views across Stoke-on-Trent. A notable local landmark is the stone spire of St. Thomas' Church, which stands prominently on the hilltop. The area is also known for the annual Penkhull Village Festival, a community event that makes use of the historic churchyard and surrounding greenspace, reflecting the ward's distinct village-like character within the city.
