In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Harecastle like this:
HARECASTLE, a place on the NW border of Staffordshire; near the Kidsgrove Junction station of the Crewe, Stoke, and Uttoxeter railway, 4 miles N of Newcastle-under-Lyne. The Grand Trunk or Trent and Mersey canal begins here; and a tunnel of the railway, 1,888 yards long, is in the neighbourhood.
Harecastle is now part of STOKE ON TRENT Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how STOKE ON TRENT has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Harecastle itself, go to Statistics.
