Rugeley has never been considered a pretty town – and it’s not. It’s the centre of an old mining district, and, like so many of former such towns, now feels neglected and forlorn.
In fact, it is now more famous for the huge power station on its fringes.
There is an odd sense of pride in Rugeleyans; they seem to say, “industrialised is what we were, and what we are - and we don’t worry about it much… why do you?”
