Red Street is home to a large stone monument on the summit of Bignall Hill, which is dedicated to John Wedgwood (1760-1839).

Following storm damage in 1976 it was reduced to a quarter of its original size, although the base is still substantial.

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.
