Kingsley, Staffordshire
Kingsley is a small village in the Staffordshire Moorlands near to Cheadle, and situated on the A52 from Stoke on Trent to Ashbourne. The civil parish population taken at the 2011 census was 2,204.
Nowadays Kingsley is a quiet rural village, but until the early 20th century it was the centre of the Churnet Valley iron mining industry. Partly as a result, the village then had many pubs, but today only one remains, the Bull's Head, in the High Street. Since 2000, the old Swan pub has been converted into a large family house, and the Plough has been demolished and houses have been built where the pub and its car park were.
The village is close to Alton Towers.
The one school is called St Werburghs Primary School, named after the local Church of England parish church.
