Disused Railway Crossing
The Stoke–Leek line was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1867. Milton and Endon were the original stations on the line that opened at the same time as the line. Situated on the single track section of the line between Milton Junction (where the line diverged from the Biddulph Valley line) and Endon, the station had only a single platform.
Passenger services over the line were withdrawn in 1956 and the station closed. The line through the station continued in use until 1988 for freight services and since 1988 the line has officially been out of use but not closed.

Birches Head Road Bridge north-east of Stoke-on-Trent
Birches Head Road Bridge is No 15 across the Caldon Canal near Abbey Hulton. This bridge has retained its number in the masonry. A separate footbridge is in place beyond the old stone structure because an adjacent school needs to have greater safety measures in place.

Caldon Canal south of Milton, Stoke-on-Trent
The River Trent meanders northwards through scrub and grass land about fifty metres off to the right.
The Caldon Branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal opened in 1779. It runs eighteen miles from Etruria in Stoke-on-Trent, where it leaves the Trent and Mersey Canal. It terminates at Froghall about five miles south-east of Cheddleton. The canal has seventeen locks and the 69 metre long very low Froghall Tunnel, unusable by many narrowboats. The canal did originally continue through to Uttoxeter, but the section beyond Froghall was closed by the late 1840s, much of its course being filled in to construct a railway.
