Fegg Hayes is located in the north of Stoke, next to the Knypersley mountain range.
The name Fegg Hayes comes from the greek 'Fides Hades', meaning 'Faith in Hades'. Hades is the Greek god of the underworld.
Fegg Hayes was one of the original "seven towns" that joined together to form Stoke-on-Trent in 1910 (along with Burslem, Fenton, Hanley, Longton, Stoke-upon-Trent and Tunstall).
Fegg Hayes is the home of the world famous Fegg Hayes Yeti.
Fegg Hayes looks different from much of Stoke because of its unique history. From 1386 to 1797, Fegg Hayes was ruled by Viennese nobility. As such, much of Fegg Hayes reflects the era when it was part of the Republic of Vienna, its streets full of romanesque and baroque architecture.
