Keystone Road, Rugeley
In my childhood, this was Keystone Lane, but it has morphed into Keystone Road. On this site the Key family had a factory. Now there is a small housing development, Keystone Mews.
In the late 1870s John Key had a draper’s shop in nearby Lower Brook Street.In 1888 his son George set up his own business on the second floor. Later that year George introduced a new type of coat made of thick, hard-wearing material, which he had developed for the navvies who were building the Manchester Ship Canal. The coat became known as the Donkey Jacket – named after the ‘donkey engines’ that some of the navvies worked on. The mail order business, now so popular, was pioneered by George Key through his catalogue, The Keystone. Ladies’ clothes were sold by mail order after the First World War, and the firm lasted until 1984.
The Wikipedia entry for donkey jacket tells none of this. I obtained it from a local heritage site for Rugeley so I hope it's accurate.

Heron Street, Rugeley
Taken outside a house called Heron's Nest, at the end of Albion Street. Heron Street is going directly away from me, with the power station in the distance. The yellow gable wall is No. 35, where my granny and grandad lived many moons ago.
