Eaton Park Streets Past & Present

Eaton Park, on the western side of Stoke-on-Trent near Bucknall and Bentilee, developed mainly during the 20th century as a planned residential district. Much of the area was built to meet the growing demand for modern housing as older inner-city communities were cleared and the Potteries expanded beyond their traditional industrial centres.

This page lists the present and historic streets of Eaton Park and links to descriptions of the origins of street names, old maps, local developments, and the changing character of the district over time. The streets of Eaton Park reflect the growth of suburban Stoke-on-Trent and the development of new housing estates during the post-war period.

Today, Eaton Park remains a predominantly residential area, with its streets illustrating the changing patterns of housing and community development in the modern Potteries.
