Blythe View Farm, Grindley
As can be seen from the sign on the telegraph pole, this farmer has his own horse trotting track, behind the farm, with a stable of several horses for outside competition. One of the buildings is or was let out to a Narrow Boat builder, who would build the shell of a Narrow Boat to order, then it was sent away to be fitted out.

Grindley: approximate site of former station, 1995
View eastward, towards Uttoxeter, at the estimated site of Grindley station on the course of the former ex-GNR Uttoxeter - Stafford branch, all closed to goods since 5/3/51, to passengers even from 5/12/39. This outlier of the GNR system came from Nottingham, Derby and Egginton Junction, thence by running powers over the North Stafford line to Uttoxeter. The house seen here might or might not have been the station.

Former railway alignment at Grindley
This was an isolated section of the Great Northern Railway, part of its link from Derby to Stafford, which could only be reached by running over the North Staffordshire Railways lines between Egginton Junction and Uttoxeter. The line was never a heavy earner!

At the entrance is this honesty box, help yourself to eggs and fruit or even bags of rotted manure and put the money in box provided, all proceeds go to Darcy and Lorten, I surmise they must be the children of the house.

Equestrianism appears to be the main local activity. Rain drops have interfered with this view.
