Hyde Park Trading Estate, Stoke-on-Trent
Seen from the Trent and Mersey Canal, the old works is now divided up into many smaller business units, known as the Hyde Park Trading Estate. Very little seems to be happening, so could it be that this site is due for demolition as part of the enormous ongoing regeneration of Stoke?
The site and buildings were originally the Stoke Railway Works, owned by the North Staffordshire Railway and opened in 1864.

Start of the Leekbrook Branch under restoration
The Leekbrook branch was mothballed in the late 1980s. It is now being brought back into operation by Moorland & City Railways. The building in the background, "Tile Clearance House", is on the site of various former sidings and an engine shed.

Trent and Mersey Canal in Stoke-on-Trent
Seen on a dull day after the rain had stopped!
Considerable redevelopment has taken place in recent years with many new factory units and multi-lane roads. There are eight lanes of the Queensway A500 behind the wall on the right!
The canal is 93.5 miles in length from Derwent Mouth to Preston Brook. The first sod was cut by Josiah Wedgwood in July 1766 at Middleport (Stoke-on-Trent). It took eleven years to build. This section between Derwent Mouth and Shugborough (the junction with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal) was operational by 1770, the rest to Preston Brook being operational by 1777. James Brindley was the engineer until his death in 1772.

Trent and Mersey Canal in Stoke-on-Trent
The old works on the left is now divided up into many smaller business units, known as the Hyde Park Trading Estate. As most units seem to be closed, maybe this site is next for demolition and regeneration as part of Stoke's enormous redevelopment project.
The site and buildings were originally the Stoke Railway Works, owned by the North Staffordshire Railway and opened in 1864.
