Taken during the summer of 1997 this show the Normacot junction of the almost finished A50 trunk road. In the centre is the old A50 towards Longton with the Shires bathroom factory towering over the terraced shops. It is currently empty awaiting demolition or refurbishment. Almost totally hidden behind the shops but this side of the bathroom factory is Longton Fire station. Further in the distance is St James' Church tower located on the south side of Uttoxeter Road.
