Our mooring tonight at Bridge 22 before stone walls and small holdings begin to create a Pennine sense of obduracy

How about this the old North Staffordshire Railway line between Stoke and Leek is still in place ,although closed a long time ago, just in case they need to resume the stone traffic from Cauldon Low. It crosses the Caldon canal at Stockton Brook locks.

As we moved out of Stoke on the Caldon you pass a lot of old pottery sites that are being redeveloped. These two bottle kilns are all that is left of the Imperial Pottery site.
