High Lane, Brown Edge â 1970

Turner's were a small family bus company based in the village, typical of several small operators in the Potteries area serving what had been industrial communities. Both Smallthorne and Norton were essentially colliery villages. Unlike many such operators which purchased second hand vehicles, the majority of Turner's fleet were purchased new, and were kept in very smart condition. Bus no.7 is a Daimler Fleetline with Northern Counties bodywork which entered service just a couple of months before this picture was taken. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link

Disused railway at Endon

Passenger services on the line between Stoke on Trent and Leek were withdrawn in 1956 although freight trains continued to run until 1988. The route is officially mothballed and the track has never been lifted although inevitably after 35 years nature has taken over. At the time of writing hopes were high that a passenger service would eventually be reinstated as one of the projects forming the government's 'Network North’ programme. Clearly, however, a great deal of work will have to be done.

St Anne's church, Brown Edge

An Anglican church in the Diocese of Lichfield, built in 1844 by J C Trubshaw (probably James Trubshaw, chief engineer of the Trent and Mersey Canal Company, who certainly designed some other churches). The tower is 1854 by Ward and Son of Hanley. The building is listed grade II (list entry 1188577). Viewed here from Knypersley Dam. See SJ9054 : St Anne's Church, Brown Edge for a closer view.
