magpie patrick Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 From the shape I guess that's the Caldon basin above the lock rather than the Uttoxeter one below it - quite a contract to today's tranquil scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest said 'turn' was between 1899 to 1900. They are all horse boats and the dress of the men and the way the materials are stacked would confirm this as so. 20 hours ago, Arthur Marshall said: The way the system's going, it's a time traveller's picture from 2099.

noddyboater Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 "Rip up the railway line and build a road from Uttoxeter through to Leek" What a smashing idea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartland Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 I wonder what John Rennie would say about the road and owing to space constrictions a modern road would need to be wider and no doubt destroy ancient woodland and then the urban terrorists would crawl out their caves and glue themselves to a tree, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walk my dogs down that railway route most days through Alton. Glad to say the railway track was not turned into a road. Consall is still fairly isolated.

I can't think of anything worse than the line being turned into a road. Have you ever found the Cricketers Arms at Oakamoor open? We didn't.
