Geograph - photograph every grid square

 
This is the view over fields from the roof of Brooke Court (which was adjacent to SJ9021 : Binyon Court) as it existed in the autumn of 1969. The row of houses in the middle distance are on Castle Bank (A518) which, to the right, becomes Newport Road.
A short distance to the left (south-west) the A518 passes under the M6 motorway.

In the distance, on the hill, are the ruins of Stafford Castle.

Since this photograph was taken all the fields in the foreground have been built over with housing and the farm house demolished.

To see almost the same view, but early on a foggy morning, click here: Link .

See this photograph by Simon Huguet Link , which shows the view (2009) back toward the viewpoint of this photograph and in which can be seen the Milton Court.
Milton Court and Brooke Court were on the same site, although Brooke Court has since been demolished.

Note: The Date Taken is the processing date printed on the slide and therefore the photograph could have been taken several weeks earlier.
