Disused Railway Lines between Silverdale Tunnel and Keele Station The first part of the line to be built required the private Silverdale & Newcastle Railway, built in 1850 by ironmaster Ralph Sneyd, to become public. This was enabled by an Act of 1859 and passenger services from Stoke to Newcastle began in 1862. Silverdale was reached in May 1863.

Meanwhile, the Great Western Railway was planning to reach Manchester and in an effort to block this, the Market Drayton extension was completed in February 1870.
The last traffic on the line was coal from Apedale and Silverdale collieries, which ceased in December 1998 when the latter was closed.

Woods near Keele University An early autumn day in the woods near Keele University. A lot of this square is open woodland that used to form the grounds of Keele Hall. Since the University took over the Hall and its 617 acre grounds, this area is now public access, with many footpaths among the trees and ponds.

Keele Suburbia There are many possible shots to take of Keele, but this one ended up being the best. Taken from Highway Lane, a set of "well-to-do" houses, it typifies the more upmarket side of having a university on your door and yet being surrounded by countryside. On the left of the image is Keele Parish Church.

Roundabout on the A525 Not very many interesting things in this square, in my opinion! I figured this view down the A525 towards Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke is worth showing, though.
