The village takes its name from that of the public house, which used to be known as The Three Loggerheads (meaning "The Three Fools") [2] and is now simply The Loggerheads.[3]
Loggerheads was home to the Cheshire Joint Sanatorium, a tuberculosissanitorium, which stood in the 250 acres (100 ha) Burntwood woodland. It was opened in the 1920s and the last two patients were discharged in October 1969. The premises stood empty for a few years until Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council purchased the site for redevelopment in 1977.[4][5]
The Burntwood, part of the Blore Forest, was once a large oak woodland but is now predominantly coniferous. The oak trees were removed to make way for the quicker growing softwoods which are of more commercial value.
