  • Zeppelins Over Trentham
    Zeppelins over Trentham Zeppelin raids had taken place at points across the country from 1915, but it was believed that the Midlands were too far inland to be reached by airships. On 31st January 1916, the area was taken by surprise as a number of airships reached the Midlands. One was seen over Walsall at 20.10 and another attacked Burton at 20.30. Lighting restrictions were not in force at the time, so the local area, including the steelworks at Etruria, were lit up. A zeppelin approached from the south and was seen over Trentham. Frederick Todd, the Land Agent for the Trentham Estate, reported that: “At least two zeppelins, who were evidently making their way to Crewe, dropped seven bombs at Sideway Colliery without much damage - they missed their objectives which were the Power House, the by-products plant, and the pit-head installation.” They made craters, but caused no injuries or loss of life. Following this raid, precautions were taken, with blackouts and restrictions on lighting. In 1915 Trentham Church reported spending £3 on insurance against zeppelin attack and damage. On Monday 27th November 1916, a clear, dry night, the German Navy Airship LZ 61 [Tactical number L21], in the company of nine other Zeppelins, crossed the Yorkshire coast. It initially attacked Leeds but was repelled by anti-aircraft fire. Commanded by Oberleutnant Kurt Frankenberg, the LZ61 was on its 10th raid of England, and had also carried out 17 reconnaissance missions. At 22.45 a warning was received locally. Black out and air raid precautions were taken.

  • “Back to Its Former Glory!”
    Newsletter of the Staffordshire Gardens and Parks Trust. Registered Charity No. 1013862. WINTER 2012 ISSUE No. 4­­7 News Staffordshire Gardens & Parks Trust Published by the Staffordshire Gardens and Parks Trust. c/o South Staffordshire LETTER Council, Wolverhampton Road, Codsall, Staffordshire WV8 1PX. Tel: 01902 696000 “BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY!” At half past four on the afternoon of August 30th, 1894, following a civic luncheon attended by 250 guests, the Mayor of Burslem, Alderman Spencer Lawton, led a procession seven thousand strong to Burslem Park behind a banner proclaiming “Success to Our Park”. After delivering a speech from the terrace, Cllr. Bowden, Chairman of the Baths and Parks Committee, with due ceremony unlocked the ornate gates with a silver-gilt key which he and his wife had donated. On June 23rd, 2012, a re-enactment took place to celebrate the re-opening of Burslem Park following the recent restoration. As part of the ceremony a copy of the original banner was carried through the park with a few thousand in attendance Various features of the new park were testimony to the munificence of local industrialists and the skill of local manufacturing: the two ornate terracotta fountains, were donated in memory of Arthur Wilkinson by his wife and daughters; gates, seats, shelters and drinking fountains made from terracotta were all donated by local industrialists. The origins of the park can be traced to the development of the pottery and mining industries which had transformed and despoiled the landscape of the area; by the end of the nineteenth century, Burslem had become a thriving Potteries town.

  • Froghall Basin, Caldon Canal
    AINA CASE STUDY TOURISM AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Froghall Basin, Caldon Canal Boats moored in the restored basin at Froghall, marking the start of the old Uttoxeter Canal Restoring an old canal terminus with enthusiastic volunteer support Volunteers from the Caldon & Uttoxeter Canals Trust, the Waterway Recovery Group and the Inland Waterways Association began restoring the Uttoxeter Canal at Froghall in February 2003. The volunteers worked in partnership with British Waterways on an £800,000 rural regeneration project called 'Destination Froghall', based around the attractive landscapes in the heart of the Churnet Valley, to improve opportunities for both visitors and boaters The Caldon Canal terminates at its former junction with the now derelict Uttoxeter Canal, close to much industrial archaeology and steep wooded valleys of scenic value. Dramatic old limekilns have been preserved around the terminus, close to old canal stables and a warehouse, to show where limestone was once transhipped by tramways from the Cauldon limestone quarries to waiting narrowboats and rail wagons on the North Staffordshire Railway (now preserved in close proximity to the canal as the Churnet Valley Railway). The volunteer work resulted in the restoration and reopening of the first lock and basin of the Uttoxeter Canal to provide permanent and floating moorings for visiting boats, footpaths for easy access around the site, seating and appropriate landscape work. Habitat improvements were also carried out including pond creation and marshland work. Construction work respected the historic environment and new stone masonry was used for lock chamber repairs, copings, quoins, cills and retaining walls. The completed scheme includes a fully restored operational lock, new paddles, operating gear and a new timber footbridge.
