Wedgwood Monument

Red Street is home to a large stone monument on the summit of Bignall Hill, which is dedicated to John Wedgwood (1760-1839). Wedgwood's monument was initially an obelisk erected in 1850. Following storm damage in 1976 it was reduced to a quarter of its original size, although the base is still substantial. The monument is a Grade II listed building. The monument is today reachable by footpaths off Deans Lane, and is the highest point in the area. It affords sweeping 360-degree views: south to the city of Stoke-on-Trent; north across the Cheshire Plains to Jodrell Bank; east to Mow Cop Castle and the Peak District; and west to the mountains of North Wales and Snowdonia.

Sport

The village has its own football club Redstreet FC.
