Pitts Hill, in the northern part of Stoke-on-Trent between Tunstall and Kidsgrove, developed from a rural hillside area into a residential and industrial community during the 19th and 20th centuries. 

Its growth was closely linked to coal mining, local industry, and the expansion of housing along the main routes connecting the northern Potteries towns.
