In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Abbey Hulton like this:
ABBEY-HULTON, a lordship in Burslem parish, Stafford; near Burslem r. station. It contains the hamlets of Milton and Sneyd-green; and has remains of a Cistertian Abbey, founded in 1223 by Henry de Audley. Pop., 726. Houses, 145.
The location is that of the site of Hulton Abbey, as marked on the modern 1:25,000 map, and is about half a mile to the north of where the name "Abbey Hulton" appears on the modern 1:25,000 map. Additional information about this locality is available for Burslem
