Uttoxeter (Bridge Street) railway station (site), Staffordshire
Opened in 1848 by the North Staffordshire Railway on the line from Derby to Stoke-on-Trent, this station closed in 1881 when it was replaced by the current station situated some 200m behind the camera position.
View west towards Leigh and Stoke-on-Trent. The current road bridge covers the eastern end of the former platforms and also the site of the main building, which had been next to the left-hand track in this view.

JCB arms - Uttoxeter
The JCB is an icon of British engineering and unlike so many other household names has not out-sourced manufacture to the Far-East (though I suppose lots of components will be imported). They do have a factory in China and one in the US, but I'm pretty sure that JCB's for UK and Europe are still made in Staffordshire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._C._Bamford
Hurrah for them!

Andy Scott's Centaur Town Meadows roundabout Uttoxeter
Under an S101 Agreement (Town and Country Planning Act 1990) Tesco financed the £95,000 cost of this and the Bull sculptures by Andy Scott. The sculptures were commissioned late 2010 for installation in early 2011 by East Staffordshire Borough Council. Andy's other works include Thanksgiving Beacon in Belfast and the Argestes Aqua in Australia.
