About Silverdale

Silverdale is a village and civil parish located in the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, positioned to the west of Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Today, the village is governed as a self-contained ward of Newcastle Borough Council and is home to Ibstock’s large clay quarry adjacent to the former mining site, making it relevant for those researching planning applications in the region. The settlement has a population of approximately 5,743 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Newcastle-under-Lyme district.
