Action - frozen


The only action at Port Vale Football Club in Stoke on Trent right now is in this frozen pose of Roy Sproson. 
Games at the ground have been cancelled due to the coronavirus.

Roy was one heck of a player; and fans toiled long and hard to raise the funds to have this staue made and installed. 
The Vale languishes at the moment, but once, seventy years ago, reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Fans have long memories.

Closed due to Corona


Villagers have been used to buy their eggs here at this farm each day.  Not this week.
So it goes.

No buses stop here


Bus services in rural, and even now in semi-rural areas too, have been simply cut. They are no more.
This means that there are many bus shelters that are useless.

But parish councils continue to maintain even very remote ones, like this example on the road to Dilhorne, in the rather sad & forlorn hope that ‘one day bus services may come back’.
