First sentence: Weston, just five miles from Stafford, must be one of Staffordshire's more attractive villages.
Description: This is the third and final book of the series 'The Road to Chartley' which describes the final stage of the journey along the Stafford-Uttoxeter road - the A518 - from Weston on Trent to Stafford. It has 40 stories and nearly 60 photos.   It includes memories from people in Weston, a brief history of nearby Weston Hall with its many stories of ghosts and in particular the Grey Lady, articles on the River Trent, the Trent and Mersey Canal, the long-gone Stafford-Uttoxeter Railway, the lost hamlet of Tinkerborough, the Battle of Hopton and Coton Hill Asylum.  The book is dedicated to the many people who have tragically lost their lives in traffic accidents along the road.
Notes: Unfortunately the three volumes which make up The Road to Chartley are all out of print and the reprinting costs are prohibitive.  There is a possibility of making a CD of Part 3.
