Dist:0.4km<br/>The photographer stands on the disused LNWR Coalport branch looking towards Wombridge. In front of him is Valley Pool, and left, distant, the tower of St Mary and St Leonards Church, Wombridge. On the other side of the railway embankment, behind the photographer, is another, larger, pool called Middle Pool. After the railway had closed for good, the embankment was removed and the two pools became one, very popular with local coarse anglers.

Dist:0.5km<br/>By 1964, all traffic had ceased along the ex-LNWR Coalport branch, although the track had not been lifted. This view is from near Middle Pool, looking towards Oakengates. Wombridge Church can be discerned in the right background.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Formerly the Pudding Inn on the old A5 at Ketley, at which time it had signage on the wall saying "Good food, strange staff" or something very similar. That always made me smile.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This view was taken from the embankment of the ex-LNWR Coalport branch railway. In the foreground is Middle Pool, popular with coarse anglers, and on the skyline the engine house from which the Trench Inclined Plane had received its power. The embankment was later removed and Middle Pool became connected with its neighbour Valley Pool, behind the photographer here.

Dist:0.6km<br/>It used to look like this: [[482502]], but now it's an Indian restaurant. It is named on the 1889 map, and endured a brief spell as 'The Pudding Inn', part of Mad O'Rourke's Black Country pub chain. Then it became the Unicorn again, but has now found a new role and name. Very steep car park at the back, I remember.
