1898 OS map showing the
junction between the Newcastle canal and the Trent and Mersey canal.
After passing under
Church Street the Newcastle canal runs alongside the Spode works and
behind the Town Hall (red square).
Present day hints of the earlier existence of the canal are found in
"Aqueduct Street" (purple square) which is alongside the
town hall - this name reflects the presence of the aqueduct which
carried the canal over the fowlea brook (light blue) which went
into a culvert under Brook Street (green square).
The yellow square show
the junction of the Newcastle canal with the Trent & Mersey canal.
Junction of the Newcastle Canal - from
