Looking south-east towards Rugeley in warm evening sunlight, this is the line from Stoke-on-Trent, seen from the Church Lane level crossing. Railway bureaucracy causes confusion here because Church Street changes to Redhill Road. There is no Church Lane! The houses are in The Sidings, so one is tempted to surmise what preceded the housing there. However, Victorian maps reveal that there were no railway sidings here, just small fields.
