On the last day of January with snow and frost on the ground the rows of headstones have the look of people standing to attention.

Carmountside Crematorium

The building is quite austere and on the day we were there was very busy with thirteen funerals, including one double funeral.

The railway concerned crosses the bridge below the lock, with a truss pipe bridge beyond.

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

Long Butts Lift Bridge, Caldon Canal

There has been an obvious change to this lift bridge since 2012, see SJ9052 : Long Butts Lift Bridge, Caldon Canal. It is doubtful if the bridge is any busier however.

There are five locks in the flight at Stockton Brook; this is the view from the A53 bridge to the second from top lock.

Stockton Brook Waterworks

Large derelict buildings are always a sad sight, sitting there waiting for somebody to find a use for them. Here the old waterworks at Stockton Brook, reflected in the Caldon Canal on a sunny morning, looks quite benign but in the moonlight from this spot it can seem very spooky indeed. The building dates from 1884 when a deep well was bored in order to pump water from the underlying millstone grit formations which then served the growing population of the pottery towns. It has been disused for many years as this view from 2007 shows: SJ9152 : Stockton Brook Waterworks, Stoke-on-Trent although there have been various development proposals. In 2003 it was reported that the site had been purchased from Severn Trent Water and that the new owners intended to open a restaurant, cafe, conference rooms or possibly a wedding venue. None of that happened and the works were offered at auction in 2018 with 'development potential (subject to planning)' and a guide price of £400,000; there was interest but the property failed to reach its reserve price.

The narrowboat moored on the towpath side of the canal is called 'Beez Neez'. The semi-detached houses high above the water are on Millbrook Grove.

By this stage, the Caldon Canal is beginning to have a more rural feel as it gradually shakes off the Stoke on Trent suburbs. The bridge ahead carried the Stoke - Leek railway that has been disused since 1989.

Stockton Brook Locks, Caldon Canal, North Staffs.

The 17 miles-long The Caldon Canal branches off the Trent and Mersey Canal at Stoke-on-Trent and continues to Froghall. These are the locks at Stockton Brook where it passes under the disused Stoke to Leek railway and the A53.
