Cheadle Road, Forsbrook
Both Blythe Bridge and Forsbrook together form Forsbrook Parish and over the years the two have fused, so it is not easy to determine exactly where one ends and the other begins. However, the green sign here close to the junction of Cheadle Road and Caverswall Old Road announces arrival in Forsbrook so the boundary is presumably somewhere in this immediate area.

Wakefield Grave
The headstone in St Peter's churchyard leans at a precarious angle but the inscription is legible. It commemorates Sarah Ann Wakefield and her husband George 'station master Blyth Bridge' (sic). They died in 1883 and 1889 respectively. It is fairly unusual for headstones to mention the occupation of the deceased, but in Victorian times the station master would have been a person of substance in the village. Blythe Bridge still has a station but nowadays there are no staff.

A broken grave in St Peter's Churchyard
This is rather a sad sight lying on the churchyard ground to the rear of St Peter's church. The fallen headstone is pretty much illegible although the names John and Elizabeth can just be discerned together with Martin which looks to have been a surname.

St Peter's Churchyard, Blythe Bridge
With plenty of colourful blossom brightening up the churchyard, the rather dour Victorian church looks less forbidding than it might otherwise do. The church was built 1847-49 originally as a chapel of ease to serve the three related settlements of Forsbrook, Blythe Bridge and Blythe Marsh; it is correctly known as St Peter's Forsbrook although it is located on Cheadle Road in Blythe Bridge.
