Weston Road, Aston-on-Trent Aston-on-Trent has a population of about 1,700 (2011 census) making it slightly larger than its neighbour Weston-on-Trent. It is not particularly close to the River Trent, having been established away from the flood plain. In this Sunday lunchtime view traffic cones were in place in connection with the village well-dressing festival which was taking place over the weekend. Wandering around, several of the locals could be heard complaining of a sore head, so it sounds as though a good time was had by all the previous evening.

Bridge 3A Trent & Mersey Canal (1997) This seems to be an expensive looking bridge for what appears to be just a farm track running across it. The date is probably the big clue as this is the time that the nearby A50 was finished. Presumably therefore this was needed to restore access to the farm visible behind destroyed by the new road.

The Trent and Mesey Canal from Acrelane Bridge The Trent and Mersey Canal is 93·5 miles in length from Derwent Mouth to Preston Brook. The first cut was made by Josiah Wedgwood in July 1766 at Middleport (Stoke-on-Trent). The eastern section between Derwent Mouth and Shugborough (the junction with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal) was already operational by 1770 and the whole canal through to Preston Brook, where it linked with the Bridgewater Canal was open for business by 1777. James Brindley was the engineer until his death in 1772. There are seventy-six locks en route to raise and lower the water level where hills impede the course. There are four tunnels, including the famous Harecastle Tunnel near Stoke-on-Trent.

After realising that I have not got a picture of the decaying sign on this visit I planned to return to rectify that omission. Unfortunately I never did and it is now long gone.
