Situated behind Hall Hill Drive is a park with this concrete plaque, which reads: There's black ash beneath the green, gob fires burning under Gas Hill, And beneath it all, Bones of miners buried still. It is a memorial to a fatal gas explosion in 1889, which killed 64 miners. Stoke on Trent used to be a major mining industry in many of its six towns.

Lawn Farm moated site was created in the late 1200's by the Standon family, lords of the manor of Fenton Vivian. The site would have served as a manor house but might also have been used as a hunting lodge for the near-by deer park established by Robert of Standon in the 1280's. Although not their main residence, Lawn Farm would still have been of significant value to the family and a symbol of their social standing. The Standon's had ceased to own the manor and moated site by the mid 1300's. It eventually passed to a lord who lived far from Lawn Farm and had little interest in the site. It had fallen into disrepair and been abandoned by the early 15th century. On the site, archaeological excavations have uncovered remains of The Hall, an Oven (or Kiln), Circular Dovecote and a Fish Pond.
