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 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 the outline of the remains of gardens belonging to houses along the former South Walls.
South Walls lies to the right, the red brick building is the Magistrates Court, Probation Offices and Police Station.

Town Dig, Tipping Street, Stafford
Before the County Council went ahead with transforming a central car park to their new office blocks, the archaeologists were able to dig a little below the tarmac. The Victorian/Georgian layers were soon dispensed with and the older layers were uncovered, a domestic kiln and a sealed bottle containing a liquid concoction to ward off evil spirits were found, amongst other items.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6256841/Archaeologists-unearth-17th-century-bottle-used-to-scare-off-witches.html
