Fenton is one of the Six Towns of the Stoke-on-Trent conurbation which were federated in 1910. It is situated in the south-east of the city. Arnold Bennett called his fictionalised version of Stoke on Trent the "Five Towns", and Fenton has been dubbed the town Arnold Bennett forgot. Fenton has been the home of a number of potteries such as Coalport, and its architectural heritage includes listed bottle ovens. Fenton has a Carnegie library.
