Pond near Birchenwood Tunnel
Adjacent to the former Potteries Loop railway, now a footpath and cycleway, is this orange pond. The colour of the water is caused by ironstone leeching and is common in the Kidsgrove area.

Stream beside the Potteries Loop Line
This stream (not named on the map) follows the old route of the Potteries Loop Line - now the Scotia Valley Greenway, a path and cycleway - for some distance east of Kidsgrove. Its colour looks alarming, but this is caused by ironstone leeching, a phenomenon that also affects the Trent & Mersey Canal in the area.

Former Potteries Loop Line east of Kidsgrove
The old railway which once ran from Etruria to Kidsgrove via Hanley and Tunstall is now a footpath and cycleway. Here it is accompanied by a stream coloured orange by the effects of ironstone leeching.

Bowls and Tennis at Birchenwood
The bowling green and tennis court are part of the facilities at Birchenwood Country Park. I've never caught anyone using either of them but I'm sure someone must at some time.
