In 1910 when the first historic find was unearthed in Penkhull whilst excavating for the new Garden Village enterprise in Penkhull – a Neolithic urn, probably for the use of potpourri placed inside a British Barrow. The second is a fine leaf-shaped arrowhead discovered in an area that would have been a forest surrounding the clearing of the village of Penkhull. The third is a stone axe-head. These are described fully along with photographs in this appraisal of our past and the early settlement of Penkhull c5000 years ago.

pre 2 Roman occupation at Trentvale, kiln, fort, and ramparts.

£2.00

ByRichard Talbot

Little has been compiled regarding the local evidence of the Roman first century occupation at Trentvale with the exception of the discovery of a roman kiln found there in the 1930s. A replica has pride of place in Hanley museum. However, by chance the ramparts of the fort overlooking the entrance to the North Staffs conurbation at Hanford was discovered around sixty years ago and is detailed also in the article in addition of the discovery in 1912 of a cobbled pavement in the centre of Campbell Place twelve feet below the present surface above which was found twelve inches of silt by Charles Lynam. Mention is also made of a boulder channel discovered in Honeywall in 1909. Interesting research and illustrated.
