Leek
Leek is a market town and civil parish in the English county of Staffordshire. Set on the River Churnet, it is 10 miles north east of Stoke-on-Trent. It is an ancient borough and was granted a royal charter in 1214. Most of the town is at or higher than 180 metres above sea level, and it is surrounded by the countryside of the Staffordshire Moorlands, which is located on the southern uplands of the Pennines. It is the administrative base for the Staffordshire Moorlands District Council. The town was built on the slope and crown of a hill, and it is at the foot of the Peak District National Park. The town is, because of this, called the 'Gateway to the Peak District', along with being typically called the 'Queen of the Moorlands'. It has a long background of being a market town, with the right to host a weekly market and an annual week-long fair being approved by King John in 1207. Many buildings dating from the Victorian period stay standing in the town, and much of these were designed by the architectural practice of the Sugdens, 'Sugden and Sons'. William Sugden arrived in Leek in 1849, brought over because of his work on the design of the train stations in the Churnet Valley Railway. Prominent buildings include the Congregational Church, Myatt; s Mill, Mill Street Methodist Chapel and Ragged School, and West Street School. Their influence of their styles on the town continues to be far-reaching.
