I don't suppose you know of any photos of the excavations? I'd be fascinated to see them. The pub was demolished about 6 months ago now. There is a planning application in to build houses on the site. The developers have even started to move building materials in but they haven't had the full approval to begin building yet.

No problem! I didn't grow up in the area so I don't remember the buildings when they were still standing. I had heard the rumors about the cemetery being located somewhere around the housing estates but I only recently found out where it actually was.

If it's the one I think you mean it is on the A34 just south of Congleton and it does have some interesting old tombs, albeit in a poor state. I drive past that church every week but, oddly, I've never made a video there.

@user-rt4md6qp7u that's the one. Yes, they aren't in great shape but interesting. There are the 2 graves in Wolstanton too (the victim whose killers initials are on her grave and the guy who helped invent fingerprints). Keep up the good work.

@@joncourts8148 I have a video about Sarah Smith (the murder victim in Wolstanton) but I didn't know about the other interesting grave in that cemetery. Thanks for sharing!

Apologies for that. I didn't have my actual camera with me so I filmed this on my phone whilst passing through the area. I'll hopefully get chance to visit again and do it more justice at some point.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Apologies if I got the dates wrong in this video. It was made in a bit of a rush, I made a more recent video where I hopefully did more justice to Molly's legacy.

You are very welcome! Hope you are enjoying the series

Thanks, glad I'm helping people learn a little bit more about Staffordshire and its history!

Thanks for your support!

Thank you so much! Hopefully I'll have a bit more free time to update this channel now even if I can't always shoot on location.

Thank you! Good to be back, I was shocked to see how long it has been since I last uploaded anything!

Thank you for your kind comments! I certainly am still with you and just uploaded a new video today (admittedly, my first in a long time!)

@@PotterNo1 got some good locations off this channel, because i didnt know where to find some of them, like sarah smith grave in wolstanton and molly leigh grave in burslem, keep making more.

Thanks! Glad you are finding them interesting

I've heard tales of the Kidsgrove Boggart. In fact, there is an excellent video about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3aWaqmXjNGeqtE

Thank you so much! I don't really have a background in media but I'm currently trying to improve the professionalism of my videos.

George Leveson-Gower commissioned the mausoleum who was very much a central figure in the Highland Clearances. He was, as you say Marquess of Stafford and Earl Gower as well as Viscount Trentham before becoming Duke of Sutherland.

@@PotterNo1 I should have said little to do with the Highland Clearances, which themselves have an extremely complicated history, not the simplified view of the modern day. As I understand it, on his marriage to Elizabeth Sutherland, Countess of Sutherland, George, gained the legal control, but not the ownership, of the Sutherland Estates. During the many phases that the so called clearances took place (which was actually around 110 years in all) George left the running of her Scottish land to Elizabeth, who took a great interest in them and their people. She in turn, left the day to day business in the hands of her factors, most notably Patrick Sellar. George, on inheriting the Bridgewater fortunes, made much of this available for the reorganisation of the Sutherland lands, so perhaps this is why you hold him so responsible. All in all, the Sutherland Clearances appear considerably more benign than many others, but that it not to say that they did not have their unfortunate consequences for many, many people. They are prominent by being probably the best recorded. But now, at last (!) to my point. To introduce your video by the single denigration of the yet to be Duke by reference to the Highland Clearances alone, whist totally ignoring the importance of him and his family in the life of this County, and of it's neighbours, the philanthropy of his descendants to the towns of the Potteries and beyond, and of their interests and investments in the Industrial Revolution is very lacking. Wokish I should say!

Weird question but is it safe to jump off the actual bridge?

Yes, I agree it feels a little far fetched but she was known to be a formidable character so I wouldn't put it past her.
