Very rare railway trespass notice still in situ, Stafford.
Damaged but identifiable trespass notice at the site of the former junction between the West Coast Main Line of the London and North Western Railway (later LMS) and the Stafford to Uttoxeter branch line of the Great Northern Railway (later LNER). This branch line was the most westerly point on the GNR system. Also visible is a damaged trespass notice. Could this be the last relic of the London and North Eastern Railway Company still in situ in Stafford 60+ years after that company ceased to exist? Most of these notices were removed long ago and now grace museums and homes throughout the world! This one seems to have received the unsuccessful attention of thieves. There is evidence that a further notice once graced the post too.

This plaque is found all over Stafford marking houses in which a soldier, sailor or airman who died in World War I lived. The plaque would, of course, only be found on houses built before the end of WWI

Doxey Road, Castletown, Stafford
This section of Doxey road has been replaced by a new road on the left behind the trees. The residents now enjoy on-street residential parking and less road noise and traffic. The new road is part of the Western Access route around Stafford by-passing the town centre and opening up new land for development.

Stafford Western Access Road
This shows part of the construction work for the Stafford Western Access Road which will link the A518 Newport Road with the A34 Foregate Street. It is claimed that it will improve traffic flows in the town centre and 'support the construction of up to 2,350 houses and the creation of 100 jobs'. The 7mph speed restriction for construction traffic is interesting.
