At the northern end of the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme,
Kidsgrove and Butt Lane were quiet and rural areas of scattered
settlements that became an industrial centre of great importance in
the economy of North Staffordshire. Today, the areas are largely
residential, with housing belonging mainly from the post-war era
onwards. Coal mines and ironworks changed the landscape and
population and housing increased; development by the Trent and
Mersey Canal and the arrival of the railway allowed the area to
flourish. Nowadays, most of the heavy industry has declined and
many once-familiar sights have been swept away. However, it is
possible to recreate something of the atmosphere of this industrial
past and its social consequences through the illustrations and
detail that accompany them. Drawing on a rich store of photographs
and historical information, this book reveals a fascinating past
for readers to enjoy as local author Tony Lancaster guides us
through the streets, revealing the changing faces of Kidsgrove and
Butt Lane.
