A view across a triangular green created in the 1970s on the site of much of the former Victorian village of Talke. John Street and Wesley Street were two streets that were demolished. An evocative account of what was formerly here is at http://www.francisfrith.com/talke/memories/talke-a-forgotten-village_100091/ . On the right at the foot of the green is the A34 Newcastle Road.
