A Century of Land Reclamation in Fenton

Following the decline and closure of collieries there were large areas of derelict land in Fenton. Thanks to the foresight of radical thinkers in the 1960s, many of these sites were transformed into the beautiful green spaces we have today. Fenton now has the most parks and green spaces of any of the six towns. This event is co-ordinated by Potteries Heritage Society and has been updated from last year's "Green Historic Fenton" as part of the City of Stoke-on-Trent's Centenary Celebrations. Refreshments available before the event in the cafe at Fenton Town Hall.
