On the opposite side of the road from SJ7949 : Audley: footpath and road junction signs, the foot of Wereton Road crosses the old railway line.
The Audley branch railway

The 'Audley branch', between Alsager Junction and Keele, closed to passenger traffic in April 1931, and to all traffic in January 1963. The section between Alsager and Merelake has been designated the 'Merelake Way', and is managed by Cheshire East Council. The stretch between Bignall End and Halmer End is a popular walking and dog-exercising route, and is always referred to locally as 'the lines'.

An account of the line's history is at LinkExternal link.
