Town Centre By-Pass - Newcastle-under-Lyme

The second post is Newcastle-under-Lyme, not somewhere which I have visited.

A fine roundabout, the crazy paving adds significant interest and the tree, bent at a rakish angle leads the eye towards St Giles's church on the right.  A succcessful bit of town planning.


Newcastle under Lyme is here:






And I think this is the roundabout now (pan to the right a bit).





Though I'm not entirely sure this is the spot, the chimney has gone, though the church does seem to be in the right place, and it's clearly on a roundabout. If it is the right place then things have changed considerably. The inventive and artistic crazy paving has given way to the utilitarian chevrons, the church remains but the planting has changed radically.
