The Salt Line crosses a minor road
There would have been a bridge here but it has long gone, so walkers on the Salt Line trail have to descend to the road and up the other side.

Transcription:
The Wheelock Branch Line was opened in stages
between 1852 and 1858. Originally it was a
goods line only, carrying salt and products from
the chemical industries in Cheshire to the
Potteries. The wagons brought back coal to
power these industries.
Trentham Gardens was a favourite destination
when passenger services were introduced in
1893. These ended in 1930 and the line
remained a goods line until it closed in 1970.
