Etruria Road - 2008 [Google Maps]
the route of the old loop line can easily be identified on this map.
the purple square is the old Rose & Crown pub (now offices)
the light blue area was part of the Shelton works & is now a shopping centre.
The red line crossing Cobridge Road is the approximate route of a mineral line joining the different Shelton Iron & Steel Works 
 


Tinkersclough - 1949

The light coloured mound at the front of the photo is slag from the Shelton works deposited at Tinkersclough.
Compare this photo with the 2008 Google map above, the Rose and Crown can easily be located on the photo
to the centre right, alongside the loop line railway bridge.
The back of Wedgwood's Etruria Hall stands almost in the centre, but
not so easy to see in its blackened state.
On the horizon can be seen the spire of Wolstanton Church.
