Riverway, Stafford
Nearing the end of the Brocton - Stafford cycle route/footpath. Two minutes from an on foot arrival in Stafford, the bulk of the council offices dominate the right hand side of the view. The ducks on the River Sow are uninterested.

The changing face of Stafford
Looking into the town centre across the piles of hardcore that were once the Riverside Sports Centre. The old town's South Wall ran along the line of the trees and red brick rubble. To the left is the Borough Council Offices, followed left to right by the towers of St Mary's and St Chad's churches, the County Education offices and the Magistrate's Courts. This townscape will not last for long - planning consent has been granted to the County Council for a huge office complex which will fill the middle ground and there are also plans for an apartment complex on the former Riverside site.

The changing face of Stafford
The Tipping Street car park has been closed and archaeological surveys are being carried out pending the development of a new complex of County Council Buildings. This picture shows what are probably the cellars of houses around Apple Tree Court - one of the courtyards that grew up behind the facades of many C18th and C19th town streets. Each house in such a court would have probably have housed several families or a family and lodgers and were where many of the working class people of the day lived.
The darker earth areas being excavated may be old rubbish pits.
