Five hundred metres north-west of Stoke-on-Trent railway station, this is the Trent and Mersey Canal approaching Cockshutts Lock, No 37. In the foreground is a disused railway bridge which used to carry a line to serve early 20th century factories. I don't know when it was decommissioned. Beyond it, the West Coast Main Line (Stafford to Manchester Branch) crosses the canal by Cockshutt Lock, and above is a footbridge crossing the railway.
