Mounting steps
The nearby access to the Biddulph Valley Way from the lane to Mossley is too steep for horses to be ridden up and these steps have been provided for riders to remount.

Bridge on the Biddulph Valley Way
This bridge originally carried the Biddulph Valley Railway (1859 to 1968). It is now a recreational route as can be seen by the cyclist crossing the bridge.
The height of the bridge over Reade's Lane is 12 feet (unusually nowadays, the metric equivalent is not given).

Steps up to the Biddulph Valley Way
There are two sets of steps: I presume the steeper ones are intended for walkers and the shallower ones for horse riders. The sign banning motor vehicles should be unnecessary, but perhaps motorcyclists have managed to get their machines up here in the past.

Weir on the Biddulph Brook
The weir, immediately downstream of Reade's Lane, was originally fitted with sluice gates. I presume it was part of the water system feeding nearby Martin Mill.
