Description

Basford is a bordering suburb of both Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. It is split between Newcastle and Stoke along the A53 – Etruria Road. It lies on high ground between the town centre of Newcastle-under-Lyme to its south-west, and Stoke's Etruria suburb (home to Festival Park commercial and retail development) to its east. Basford is also bordered to the north by May Bank, to its south by Hartshill, and to the west by The Brampton.The suburb's busiest roads are Etruria Road, which features most of the area's businesses and the only local post office, Basford Park Road which leads to May Bank High Street and Wolstanton, and Shelton New Road which forms the southern boundary with Hartshill.HistoryBasford's lofty position meant it was being referred to as "Basford Hill" or "Basford Bank" by the 1830s, but previously it had been called "Fowlea Bank". The Fowlea Brook runs through nearby Etruria and has formed the valley. During the 1830s, the area featured typical ceramics industries; brick and tile yards.CultureBasford is home to Europe’s first purpose-built theatre in the round; the New Vic Theatre, which was built in 1986 to replace Hartshill's Victoria Theatre. Adjoining the New Vic Theatre is "Basford Villas", a modern development of four Italianate villa residences, which were inspired by The Villas in nearby Stoke-on-Trent.
