Canal-side pasture south-east of Stone, Staffordshire Trent and Mersey Canal.
The canal was fully opened by 1777, engineered by James Brindley. It is 93 miles in length between Preston Brook and Derwent Mouth (Shardlow).

Erosion of the banks here can be exacerbated by cattle coming for water, and by boat crews who cause a wash by excess speed. Dredging and piling will probably be attended to before long.

The Stone Hockey Club Rugby is being played on the near half of the field, with hockey being played in the netted area lower down. I met a young cyclist in Enson lane,who belonged to this club, he asked me to put this club on this site if I was going past. He had not heard of Geograph before, but was very impressed with the concept.
