The view from Glebe
Street Bridge
The bridge crosses the
A500 dual carriageway and the Trent and Mersey Canal. This is the
point of the junction of the Newcastle canal.
This photo taken from
the footpath on the Trent and Mersey Canal
The sign pinpoints the
junction of the Newcastle Canal where it ran
into the Trent & Mersey Canal near Glebe Street (just opposite the
railway station).
Until the early 1970's there was a 100 yard stretch of navigable
Newcastle Canal here which was used as moorings for Stoke Boat Club,
this stretch was wiped out when the huge A500 by-pass was built.
On
the far side of the Civic Centre is the Spode Factory and museum.
