Barhill

Barhill lies on the western side of Madeley and is separated from it by the West Coast Mainline. It consists of several neat townhouses which run along the northern side of the road. In addition there are spotted about, one or two quaint cottages. The picture shown is taken from the railway bridge looking towards Onneley. Over the wall on the right is the now disused reservoir that served the railway water troughs in the steam days. A further use for this water, was to supply Crewe railway works via two large mains pipes, which ran northward alongside the rails.

The sign for Baldwins Gate and Blackbrook points south along Manor Road. This photograph was taken the day before resurfacing and widen of the road at the top of Barhill Road.
