A50 - domed footbridge off Box Lane
In dualling the A50 between Blythe Bridge and the A500, the builders employed a series of interesting footbridge designs. This is the first, with domes over the abutments. For a similar example, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2342380 .

New A50 Normacot (under construction)
Meir's Holy Trinity church is in the distance, while to the right is the Royal Mail sorting office. Taken during the summer of 1997 from the newly finished road bridge at the Normacot junction of the A50.

Looking West from A50 Meir tunnel entrance (during construction)
Probably taken during 1996, this view west towards Longton shows St James's church in the distance. To the left of that but much closer to the camera is Longton British Legion at the junction of Meir Road and the old Uttoxeter Road. The big new lights are now in the central reservation of the A50 dual carriageway. Looks very different now.

Longton High School during A50 construction
Taken during the summer of 1997 during the A50 upgrade to dual-carriageway, this photo shows the now-demolished main block of Longton High School. It was levelled in December of 2011 using explosives. The six-storey building first opened in 1964 but suffered from structural problems probably due to nearby coal mining. This is the reason why Stoke-on-Trent has very few high-rise structures when compared with other cities of similar size. Some of the newer school buildings on the site have been retained for future use.

A50 descending toward Normacot
The photo illustrates some of the destruction to the local area wrought by the A50 dualling scheme. A crying shame that the earlier proposal for the M64 was not implemented instead (see http://pathetic.org.uk/unbuilt/m64/ for details).
