Leek is an historic market town located in the county of Staffordshire. It lies about 16 km north east of Stoke-on-Trent. It is an ancient borough and was granted its royal charter in 1214.
In the 1830s Leek was described as one of the handsomest market towns in Staffordshire.
St. Edward Street was formerly known as Spout Street, a name in use by 1637 and by the 19th C was Leek’s main residential street. The present name was adopted in 1866. The town had a regular cattle market for hundreds of years, reflecting its role as a centre of local farming. Following the Industrial Revolution it was a major producer of textiles, with silk working coming to dominate the industrial landscape. However, this industry has now ceased.
