Talke is a village in the civil parish of Kidsgrove, in the Newcastle-under-Lyme district, in Staffordshire, England. It is 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Newcastle-under-Lyme and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southwest of Kidsgrove.

Etymology

Its unusual name is derived from the even more unusual "Talk o' th' Hill" which means 'bush on top of the hill'.[1] Talke is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Talc in 1086.

History

File:The Talk-o'-th'-Hill Colliery, near Newcastle-under-Lyne, North Staffordshire, the Scene of a Late Fatal Explosion ILN-1866-1229-0020.jpg
The Talk-o'-th'-Hill Colliery, the scene of a fatal explosion on 13 December 1866; where 91 miners were killed.

Talke was made a civil parish on 1932 from the parish of Audley, being transferred from the disbanded Audley Urban District to Kidsgrove Urban District.[2] on 1 April 1974 it was absorbed and became part of the parish of Kidsgrove in the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme.[3]

In 1951 the parish had a population of 6099.[4]

Talke and Talke Pits were formerly mining sites, which is why there are road names such as Coal Pit Hill.

Borders

Talke borders on Talke Pits, Kidsgrove and Butt Lane. It is on the border of Staffordshire and Cheshire. The ancient bluebell wood at Parrot's Drumble is nearby. [5]
