Starting to look its age
This old West Midlands Gas Company's marker post has spent so long beside the Biddulph Valley Way that it has grown a mossy hairpiece and beard! The company will have been merged with other companies several times over by now, it is probably called Transco or National Grid (Gas) now.

Bordered by embankments
Just north of the location of the Image and the Biddulph Valley Way passes through a cutting, a quiet and peaceful stretch with the noise of the traffic on the main road muted. The trail was created using a disused railway line and has proved very popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

Old well
Built into a garden wall beside Biddulph Road is this piped spring running into a stone trough that is not marked on the map, the water was crystal clear coming out of the pipe and the lintel stone has obviously been carved so as to allow horses access to drink.

Entering Cheshire
This gate, on the Biddulph Valley Way, marks the county boundary between Staffordshire and Cheshire. It also marks the change from Staffordshire Moorlands District Council and Cheshire East Council, a fairly recently formed district council that incorporated the former Congleton Borough Council.

Looking back into Staffordshire
This rather scruffy, tired looking sign (especially when compared with the signs in Image) on the Biddulph Valley Way marks the border between Cheshire and Staffordshire. It also marks the northern boundary of Whitemore Local Nature Reserve (Image).

Candle Snuff Fungi
Growing amongst the moss on an old tree stump (Image) next to the Biddulph Valley Way in Whitemore Nature Reserve is some Candle Snuff Fungus (Xylaria hypoxylon). It is a common fungus that can be found at any time of the year; the common name is meant to describe its likeness to a snuffed-out candle wick. The scientific name comes from the Greek for 'wooden' which refers to the texture of the fungus.
