Pit Head Close
The road name recalls when this area was the site of Holditch Colliery, closed in 1990. Once an area of potteries and collieries, this part of Staffordshire has now a high concentration of distribution centres, one being indicated by the sign on the left.

Disused Tip
One of many disused mining spoil tips in this area. This one is on private land but that doesn't seem to have stopped off-road bikers from tearing up a fair amount of the planting.

Tracks to the Trenches - bang you're dead
The information for visitors did warn that the field gun made a very loud bang - it did! This is an 18 pounder quick firing gun and was the main armament for the field artillery in WWI with an effective range up to 5 miles (good job it was firing blanks). This example was built by Vickers in 1914 and rescued from a scrapyard in the 1980s. During the cause of the day I saw it being pulled by horses and carried on a flat wagon pulled by various locomotives.
