Endon Railway Station
Endon railway station is a disused railway station in Staffordshire. The Stoke–Leek line was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1867 and a station to serve the village of Endon was opened in November 1867. Endon marked the end of a single track section of the line from Milton Junction (where the line diverged from the Biddulph Valley line). The station had two platforms and quite extensive good facilities. Running from the station was a private siding that served the factory of Harrison & Son, this siding was unusual in that it crossed the nearby Caldon Canal by means of a swing bridge. Also due to the close location of the station to the canal was a limestone tippler for the transfer of limestone from railway wagons to canal boats. The tippler was authorised in 1904 but not built until 1918–1919 and only remained in use until the late 1920s when the decline in canal traffic led to its closure. Passenger services over the line were withdrawn in 1956 and the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caldon Canal
Caldon Canal is a branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal which opened in 1779. It runs from Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent, to Froghall, Staffordshire. The canal has 17 locks and the Froghall Tunnel. History The first plans by the proprietors of the Trent & Mersey Canal Company to construct a canal from the summit level to Leek were considered in January 1773. This would have been a tub-boat canal, as the boats were designed to carry just 5 tons, and rather than using locks, inclined planes were to be used at points where the level of the canal needed to change. Two more plans were considered, and the third included extra reservoirs which would supply the summit level of the existing main line. At a similar time, an independent company was planning a link to Leek, but the Trent & Mersey managed to block this. Having secured contracts with several owners of limestone quarries in the Cauldon Low area, the company sought an Act of Parliament to authorise construction of the new works, whi ...

Early owners Before the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538 “The Ashes” paid its tithes to the Cistercian monks at Dieulacres Abbey. In 1561 Hugh Bentley bought the property with his wife Margaret. When he died his son John Bentley inherited the house. He and his wife Ellen Bowyer had only one child Ursula who was his sole heir. In 1612 she married John Bellot (1592-1659) of Moreton and so when John Bentley died in 1638 “The Ashes” was passed into the Bellot family. On John's death in 1659 his son Sir John Bellot (1619-1674) became the owner. It is believed that either he or his father is the builder of the current house. ...
