Description:The Stafford Street bridge over the Trent Mersey canal at Stone. In the distance can be seen the gas works. the canal boat appears to be unloading a cargo of lime at the wharf on the right.

To the left can be seen part of Westbridge House. It was derelict by the Second World War, when it was used by the Home Guard for 'War Games'. At the time it was known by local children as 'The Chocolate Factory' because Mr Comber, owner of an Italian cafe in the High Street, used it to make chocolate goods.
