A50 - hidden footbridge at Heron Cross
A remarkable structure amidst the Heron Cross road system which springs directly from the cutting walls and presumably provides access under the roads which parallel either side of the A50. You need a 1:25k map to identify the footbridge's location as the 1:50k map simply can't fit it in!

Footbridge at Heron Cross
The last mile of the A50 towards Stoke-on-Trent (past Stoke City FC's Britannia Stadium) is a spur which ends at the junction with the A500; the northbound A50 continues from the roundabout at Heron Cross.

Blurton Free Baptist Church
The church stands on the junction of Blurton Road and Bourne Street. It began life as a Primitive Methodist Church towards the end of the 19th century and is still in use today by a group of local Christians. The nearest part of the building is the newest, the furthest is the original building.

Blurton Free Baptist Church
This is the most modern part of the church, fronting onto Blurton Road. It was put up post WW2, I believe. This is the entrance now used to access the chapel.

Inside Burslem Pottery
The city was scattered with potteries, which was by far the biggest industry in this area. Now very few remain - even fewer are in use.
This one is being used by Burslem Pottery now - who make art ware.

View over Heron Cross from Glebedale Park
Over the bottle oven of the local pottery and the roofs of the houses you can see the roof of Blurton Baptist Church and beyond the roundabout over the A 50.
