Fenton and the places nearby.

Fenton is the Potteries town Arnold Bennett left out when he wrote of the "Five Towns", a slight locals still mention. It sits between Stoke and Longton, with bottle-kiln heritage, Victorian terraces, and retail parks and industrial units along the main roads. Older housing brings steady work in roofing, damp proofing and rewiring. Customers usually think in terms of the whole city, so a business should name Fenton alongside Longton, Heron Cross and Stoke to be found.

The nearest towns in the same council area are Longton (1 mile), Stoke-upon-Trent (1 mile), Stoke-on-Trent (2 miles) and Burslem (4 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Newcastle-under-Lyme (3 miles), Stone (7 miles), Kidsgrove (7 miles) and Madeley (7 miles) are also close. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.

Inside Fenton, the site can name areas such as Heron Cross, Mount Pleasant, Lane Delph, Longton and Stoke.

From our base in Exeter, Fenton is about 168 miles to the north. Its postcodes start ST.

Questions

Websites in Fenton: what people ask

Is Fenton too far away for you?
No. Fenton is about 168 miles north of Exeter, and distance makes no difference to how we work: calls, WhatsApp and a link to your design on your phone. Nothing goes live until you have approved the design, and two rounds of changes are included.
Are there business figures for Fenton on its own?
No. The ONS publishes business counts by council area, and Fenton is part of Stoke-on-Trent, which it shares with Stoke-on-Trent, Burslem, Longton and others. The figures on this page are for the whole council area.
How far is Fenton from you?
About 168 miles as the crow flies: Fenton is north of Exeter, in the ST postcode area. Nobody needs to travel: the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call.
What if I work across Fenton and nearby towns?
Then the site should say so. Longton, Stoke-upon-Trent, Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme are the closest places to Fenton; tell us which ones you travel to and each gets named plainly.
