It is centred around St Michael's Road, leading to Great Chell, where the parish church is St Michael and All Angels, built in 1894. The parish, including Pitts Hill, Chell, Turnhurst and Fegg Hayes, was created in 1925. A pool has been created at the site of the former station. It is recorded that in 1683 the
manor court ordered the filling in of pits made at Pitts Hill Bank; the pits were made by potters of the day digging for clay. There was coal mining in the area from medieval times. In the 1870s there was a colliery east of the main road at Pitts Hill. The Vine pub, in Naylor Street, was
Grade II listed in 2002; it is described in the listing as a "now rare example of a small, back street public house serving a working community". It was built about 1875. In 2025, it was the national winner of the Heritage Award given by the
Campaign for Real Ale. ==References==
