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
Talke was made a civil parish in 1932, being transferred from the disbanded Audley Urban District to Kidsgrove Urban District[2] which subsequently became part of the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme.
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. [3]
