  • Lawton Woods Loop a Short Loop Through the Woods and Along the Canals
    Lawton Woods Loop A short loop through the woods and along the canals. Grade Easy Distance 6 kms/3.5 m Time 2 hours Church Lawton church Start GR SJ822 557 Map Explorer 258 or 268 Field paths, canal towpaths. Muddy patches in winter. Terrain Fairly flat. Barriers Steep canal bridge at Red Bull. Toilets None Contact 01270 686029 Route Details The name Lawton originates in the Lawton family with its family crest being the head of a bleeding wolf. Local legend talks about a man saving the Earl of Chester from being killed by a wolf. This act of bravery took place in about 1200, and to repay the deed, this man was given an area of land between Congleton and Sandbach. The one thousand acre estate became the Parish of Lauton, (later Church Lawton), and is recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086. The family crest can be found in the church. Lawton Hall, the country seat, of the Lawton family was built in the 17th century, but was almost destroyed by a fire in 1997. During the First World War the hall was used as a hospital, until this time it was still the Lawton family seat. Later it became Lawton Hall school which closed in 1986. Today it has been renovated into private dwellings. Iron smelting took place in the woods during the late 1600’s early 1700’s. Coal mining took place in nearby Kidsgrove and some of the mines extended into the Church Lawton / Red Bull area. The Trent and Mersey canal is linked to the Macclesfield canal at the Harding’s Wood Junction.

  • The Harecastle Tunnel the Harecastle Tunnel
    © www.talke.info 2008 The Harecastle tunnel Most of this section is quoted from Appelby’s Canal tunnels in England and Wales and Philip Leese’s Kidsgrove times on which I could not possibly improve. Talke’s place as centre of transport with as many as twenty teams of mule drivers stopping at the inns was not to last. The first blow was the opening of the Harecastle tunnel, a remarkable feat of engineering by Thomas Telford and James Brindley. Brindley’s first t tunnel was opened in 1777, five years after the engineer’s death. It is 2,897 feet long, 8feet 6inches wide, and in use until 1918. The second ‘Telford’ tunnel, opened in 1827 and is still in use today, it is 2,929 yards long and much wider. The canals orange colour can be attributed to local geology (iron ore) and the canals clay lining , (a technique called puddling) used to stop the water leaking out , rather than any pollution. James Brindley started work on Harecastle One on 27 June 1766, partly at the urging of local potter Josiah Wedgewood, who needed a safe and cheap means to transport coal to the kilns. ‘In the event, the tunnel took eleven years to build, during which time Brindley died and was replaced as chief engineer by his brother in law, Hugh Henshall. Harecastle had presented all manner of problems, including quicksand, hard rock outcrops, springs and even deadly methane gas, as well as resident engineers and contractors taking advantage of the lack of close supervision by the over- stretched Brindley.’ The tunnel itself was very narrow, much like the mining tunnels at Worsley,and during construction side tunnels were dug to exploit seams of coal (which were also arched and bricked to the same height as the Harecastle I Kidsgrove portal © www.talke.info 2008 main tunnel).’ One local legend states that there is an underground wharf just within the Kidsgrove entrance to load this coal.

    North Staffordshire National Trust Association Newsletter No. 118 Winter-Spring 2021 Anniversary Edition www.northstaffsnt.org.uk 1 North Staffordshire National Trust Association Newsletter No. 118 Winter-Spring 2021 A Note from the Chair Dear Members, On behalf of the committee and myself I would like to wish everyone a very joyful Christmas and a happy New Year. We are optimistic that a normal local National Trust service will be resuming this year and that all the trips and speakers we have prepared will go ahead. I think that when a rich variety of activities suddenly ceases we do appreciate how much they are valued and that the cultural and spiritual aspects of one’s life are of immense importance, not to mention the friendship and companionship which naturally go hand in hand. As this is the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the local National Trust we have included in the newsletter reminiscences and reminders of what has been a very successful organisation and has given many members much enjoyment. Looking forward to seeing you in the New Year. Best wishes, David This Newsletter is published by North Staffordshire National Trust Association to provide members with information on the forthcoming programme, reports on recent events, and other membership issues.

More specifically, we support the aims and ambitions of the bid to create a comprehensive network of cycle trails connecting surrounding towns and cities to the Peak District. Through the stakeholder consultation process, we are willing to work with officers at the Peak District National Park Authority to provide support to improve cycling and benefit sustainable travel in the Peak District and surrounding area. We believe that the project will benefit people in the following areas: • Health and Social benefits to individuals and communities – This project will enable more people to have an active lifestyle which will improve health and wellbeing. • Economic benefits to communities – a new cycle link could provide exciting opportunities for new and existing businesses, generates spending in the local economy and supports jobs. This may in turn enable more people employment opportunities through generating a thriving and stimulated community. • Environmental benefits - by generating a cycle link this will reduce the amount of vehicles on the narrow and dangerous routes which will consequently reduce congestion and pollution Bakewell and Eyam Community Transport has submitted a bid through Reaching Communities which includes a minibus and cycle trailer to enable cycles to be transported around the Peak District.
