Description:The original entrance to the leisure gardens at Trentham was between the two large "lodges" just to the right of the three PMT (Potteries Motor Traction) buses. The lodges were originally at the western entrance to Trentham Hall and were large enough to have a single room inside. They were moved here in 1938.
This side of the entrance is "Café Monica", a sweet and tea shop which catered for visitors to the gardens. The building was enlarged in the 1970s and 1980s and renamed The Poacher's Cottage. Nearer to the camera is Cranberry Cottage. Just driving past is a four door Morris or Austin 1100 saloon of the 1960s.
The present entrance to Trentham Gardens is off the left hand edge of the photograph.
