Road Beta, Middlewich
The unusually named road is part of a small business park.
The tyre marks in the foreground show that HGVs all come from along Brooks Lane from the left. Although it is much nearer to the main road the other way, that involves going over a hump-backed bridge

War memorial, Brooks Lane, Middlewich
The memorial inscription above the list of names reads "TO THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM THESE WORKS WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 - 1919" with a further addition for WW2. The name of "these works" is not stated but the UKNIWM entry http://www.ukniwm.org.uk (ref. 42850) reveals it to be Brunner, Mond & Co.
According to Historic England, this memorial was one of several designed for the company by Thomas Arthur Darcy Braddell (1884-1970) at their sites in Silvertown, Winnington, Lostock, Sandbach and Middlewich, and the Mond Mausoleum at St Pancras and Islington Cemetery.

Middlewich Junction, Trent and Mersey Canal
This is a very interesting location. Through the roving bridge is the centre of the picture, Wardle Lock is quickly reached, which leads to the ten-mile Middlewich Branch and, eventually, the Shropshire Union canal. On the right is Middlewich Basin, while straight ahead, the way leads to the River Mersey and the Lancashire canal system.

Trent and Mersey Canal, South Middlewich.
The main road into Middlewich from the south parallels the canal. The arched bridge at the canal junction is just visible in the left distance. The bridge in foreground, behind the lock gate, leads to the Kings Lock Inn, a canalside pub. The area was worked for salt and is still industrial, with chemicals produced.
