“Hitchman Street” Conservation Area, Fenton, is a group of thirteen houses and one corner shop, dating from 1889. These dwellings were completed in 1890 and this is recorded by a date stone in the façade facing Victoria Road which also bears the monogram “WMB”. William Meath Baker was the absent owner of an adjacent pottery, inherited from his uncle, William Baker. William Baker’s sister (Aunt of WMB) was called Hitchman when she married, hence the name of the Street. The street is a classic example of late-Victorian industrial vernacular architecture with striking decorative features. These houses were built on a philanthropic model for the workers associated with the pottery that once stood on nearby Fountain Street.
