Recently opened new store, on site of Newcastle under Lyme College, which has been rebuilt further west. The maps have not caught up with the redevelopment, yet! The new college: [[2108308]]

Dist:0.1km<br/>This is the main entrance of Newcastle Under Lyme College, on Liverpool Road. In the autumn of this year (2009) the whole college is leaving this slightly tired old building and moving to brand spanking new, state of the art premises nearby. Don't expect it will make much difference to the weather though! A supermarket chain has bought this site and will building their own "state of the art" premises, no doubt .....

Dist:0.4km<br/>This rather magnificent building is the new Newcastle Under Lyme College, where I am lucky enough to work. It isn't actually on the Ordnance Survey Get-a-map yet - it's still showing the college on its old site on Liverpool Road, where they are currently building a new Sainsbury's supermarket on the land previously occupied by the old college.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A frontal view of [[2475631]]. The original building dates from the 18th century with renovation carried out in the 19th century and the upper storey added in the 20th century. The stonework on the right hides the steps to St Giles Church from Lower Street. The blue plaques on the front of the Meeting House show that the master potter Josiah Wedgewood ([[2475678]]) and the scientist and theologian Joseph Priestley ([[2475711]]) were amongst the worshippers here.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This is the second of two blue plaques fastened to the front of [[2475665]] (see also [[2475678]]). Although the plaque credits Priestley with the discovery of oxygen there are, however, two other scientists who also lay claim to the discovery. Notwithstanding this Joseph Priestley was a respected scientist, historian and theologian.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This is one of two blue plaques fixed to the front of the [[2475665]](see also [[2475711]]). Josiah Wedgewood was probably one of the best known potters to work in Stoke-on-Trent, his "Wedgewood Blue" china is known and collected around the world.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The main entrance to [[2477202]]. In 1910 nearby Stoke-on-Trent was formed by the amalgamation of six towns (Stoke-Upon-Trent, Hanley, Fenton, Longton, Burslem and Tunstall) but despite many efforts to include Newcastle they remained separate following an overwhelming vote of 97.4% opposing a merger. Following the Local Government Act 1972 it became the Borough of Newcastle-Under-Lyme.
