Date:1909 - 1910 (c.)
Description:Since Stafford was first occupied as a settlement it was fortified, at first by natural features - the River Sow on one side and marshland on the other. Early man-made defences includes medieval ditches and timber walls, which were later replaced by stone. This is possibly part of the old town wall on North Walls, near to the junction with Lammascote Road. The difference between the medieval town wall and the later brickwork can clearly be seen. The building in the background still stands.
