Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title brings together two books - Cheadle Coal Town and The Iron Valley. Large scale OS maps based on the 1879 survey of the area have been added to provide additional information beyond the collieries and ironstone mines covered in the text. The 1856 iron ore discoveries in the the Churnet valley created a Klondyke rush of mining, with some 750,000 tons of soft, bright red ironstone extracted in 20 years. Iron working, however, can be traced back to the 16th century Consall Forge. the coal working spanned eight centuries, ending in the 1960s.

Thus two lines are made through thinly-populated portions of North Staffordshire, while a more populous mining, manufacturing, and agricultural centre has been left without railway accommodation. Cheadle has consequently not only been prevented from growing as it might otherwise have done, but it has been cut off from the prospect of remedying the inconvenience, except by the formation of a new company and obtaining Parliamentary sanction to the construction of a line of railway which, when carried out, will be a great feeder to the North Staffordshire Company, who run no risk in the enterprise. The line from Uttoxeter to Stoke was opened in August, 1848, and from Uttoxeter to North Rode in July, 1849; and since that time there has been a desire to connect the town with one of those lines, decided preference having always been given to a line on the Blyth Bridge or Crcsswell side, rather than to connection with the Churnet Valley.
