The park was developed on a large area of waste ground called 'Stoke Fields' - the park is 'cut in two' by the Caldon Canal (which was opened 1777) and a number of bridges in the park cross over the canal. The bandstand was the benefaction of George Howson (1818-96). - A Chartist sympathiser, Methodist and a pottery manufacturer at the Eastwood Works, Hanley.
