A small town in North Staffordshire, England. The town and local pub has what many regard as an unusual name, the origins of which are unclear. Some have claimed that it derives from the logging activities which used to take place in the nearby wood, whilst a less likely explanation argues that it derives from the battle of Blore Heath (ie two sides at loggerheads). However the most likely explanation comes from the pub itself. Until recent years the pub had an old sign on its NE wall depicted three fools or "log 'eds", from which the pub took its name, and which then eventually gave rise to the village name. The pub is referred to as "The Three Loggerheads" by a 19th century writer in a discussion of the battle, which is now hanging in Mucklestone church. Unfortunately, the sign itself was removed in the mid 1990s.

Loggerheads' nearby Burnt Wood was home to a Tuberculosis Sanitorium which was open during the 1930s and 1940s. It was believed at the time that the fresh air was an effective treatment for the disease, and patients were sometimes put outside in their beds and encouraged to breathe in the air.
