Etymology
Turnhurst means "estate on the wooded hill", (from Old English, tun means "enclosure, farm or estate" and hurst means "wooded hill")

At the southern edge of Packmoor there is Brindley's Lock public house, close to the previous site of Turnhurst Hall. Turnhurst Hall was a substantial house which stood in an area of what is now Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, between Great Chell a

nd the hamlet of Newchapel in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The road linking the two settlements is now known as Turnhurst Road and the area where the former estate was located is now known as Turnhurst. The most famous resident was canal pioneer James Brindley who is said to have perfected models of his canal locks in the grounds of the house. The estate was originally used for farming, but was later mined for coal and iron ore. To the northern edge there is Newchapel.

🚒 FIRE INCIDENT – HOLLINGTON DRIVE / JUBILEE WOOD

Just to make residents aware, there appears to be a fire in the vicinity of Jubilee Wood / the Greenway at the top of Hollington Drive.

I’ve contacted the Fire & Rescue Service and crews are now on site dealing with the incident.

With the ground and vegetation extremely dry at the moment, please keep well away from the area and give the fire crews the space they need to work safely.

I’ll share any further information if and when I receive it.

A big thank you to our firefighters for responding. 🚒👏
