More about this scene
Stone proclaims itself to be a 'Canal Town' and reaching it from this river bridge involves crossing the Trent & Mersey Canal. Looking further upstream through what is now a canoe slalom course, a new bridge beyond this one opened in 1984, and now carries the road. The large house beyond has become a residential home for the elderly.

I went back and lived with Granny in Stone till I was called up for National Service. ( 1950s )
I've just traced loads of ancestors back to Sandon & other areas nearby. We have found many Hodsons, Dickersons & Clews. If any of these names are in your family please get in touch. My g gran Lizzie Louisa Clews moved down to Hampshire so broke the chain.
I suppose as I grow older, memories of my youth increase. I remember living in Pirehill Lane when there was just one row of houses. In front of our house there was a row of huge trees, my bedroom in the back looked upon fields, fields and marshland. My friends and I would jump over our garden fences and disappear till meal times. What a childhood. My mother, sister and I would walk into Stone to do ...see more
