Description:A view of Newcastle-under-Lyme taken from the gasometer showing the ring road and the Grosvenor roundabout, known to some people locally as 'the Bearpit'. To the left can be seen the Barracks and the George Inn which was demolished in 1987 when Barracks Road was widened. On the right is Holy Trinity Church on London Road. The playing fields belong to Newcastle-under-Lyme School and the spire is that of St. Paul's Church.
The gasometer stood on the site of what is now (2018) Morrison's petrol station.
