The Newcastle-under-Lyme to Stoke canal was a 4 mile level canal from the Trent & Mersey Canal at Stoke to Newcastle-under-Lyme.
It was authorised by an Act of 1795 and completed in about 1800, part closed in 1921 and abandoned in 1935 - subsequently filled in.

The canal left the town centre heading south east on the west side of London Road (A34). Where Occupation Street leaves London Road is the spot which would have been the bottom of the inclined plane (had it been built). Near here is the newly developed Lyme Valley Park - Lyme Brook runs to the west of the canal line.
