Grazing south of Tixall, Staffordshire
Seen from the canal towpath by the lock cottage. The Stafford Plantation, which comes down to the banks of the River Sow, can be seen on the hillside. Jersey cattle are always an attractive sight.

Tixall Lock and Old Hill Bridge No 107, Staffordshire
On the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Tixall Wharf. There were some small quarries locally, and Tixall Wharf was a suitable loading point for the stone, which can be scrutinised by popping across to Sainsbury's in Wolverhampton.

Sign board by Tixall Lock in Staffordshire
This is on the lock cottage by Old Hill Bridge, No 107 on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal.
There are very few signs around measuring distance in miles and furlongs*
* A furlong is 220 yards (201 metres), or ten chains, and there are eight furlongs in a mile. Just to be clear, there are 4·97 furlongs in a kilometre.
Got it? ;-)
