Newcastle-under-Lyme: 19th-century milepost
A good example of a C19 milepost, illustrating the standardisation of roads and the introduction of turnpikes to facilitate the transport needs of the increasingly industrial landscape of C19 Staffordshire. This cast iron milepost is set in its original location, and is intact.
The milepost is Grade II listed.

Newcastle-under-Lyme: The Polite Vicar
This pub's unusual name honours a Basford Congregational minister, Ian Gregory, who in 1986 was inspired to found what became known as the Polite Society, later in 1996 to change its name to The Campaign for Courtesy. Now the National Campaign for Courtesy, it stands for good manners, respect for self & others, courtesy for all, and rejection of antisocial behaviour.

The building itself is a Georgian mansion formerly known as Stoneyfields.
