Tall trees in Bathpool Wood
The woodland is shown on maps from 1899 or earlier, so these (beech?) trees have had plenty of time to mature.

Brick wall, Westmorland Avenue, Kidsgrove
An unusual brick-bonding pattern: essentially all stretchers, but every fourth course has occasional header bricks protruding from the wall. Does it have a recognised name?

Drying area, Westmorland Avenue, Kidsgrove
A communal clothes drying area in a mid-20th century housing estate. With the advent of tumble dryers and the near-death of neighbourly sharing, I cannot imagine this facility being provided in any contemporary development. Corrosion of the shallow-cover reinforcement in the concrete posts suggests it may not last much longer anyway.

Footpath through Bathpool Wood
The path is not very clear on the ground, especially in autumn with leaf fall well under way. However, it is marked on Open Street Map and also on the 1899 OS map which oddly shows a footbridge crossing it about here. That map shows the path linking two (already closed) small collieries, and the 1879 map shows it to have been the route of an earlier tramway.

Southern portal of Harecastle 'new' railway tunnel
As explained by another contributor Image this tunnel is on a diversionary route opened in 1965. The ground under this part of Kidsgrove is a warren of human excavations, with one current and three abandoned railway tunnels, a pair of canal tunnels, and several disused mine shafts, presumably with associated levels.
