Brown Edge

High Lane, Brown Edge – 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. <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761">Link</a>

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 <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5342559">SJ9054 : St Anne's Church, Brown Edge</a> for a closer view.
