Character and Heritage

The character of Hartshill is rooted in the history of Stoke-upon-Trent and the character of the area is marked by its distinctive architecture, defined in the Hartshill Conservation Area.

A wide range of buildings were built from the eighteenth to twentieth century and span a range of scales and styles. Of particular interest is the area around Holy Trinity Church, to the northeast of the site. Herbert Minton commissioned Sir Gilbert Scott to develop a masterplan for the area, including the development of Holy Trinity Church, a vicarage, school and Minton Cottages on Hartshill Road.
