Head east from Cheadle on the Oakamoor Road and they'll both magically appear on your right after just under half a mile or so. Both available to view by appointment, or from the road. :)

Didn't realise that they were both still there! Drove past the other week, and couldn't see the railcar

Possibly a bit small for that, but would've been an impressive piece of savvy recycling. Times also overlap between the 2 attractions aswell, Around The World In 80 days being closed in 1993, and being open there from 1981!

Anyway, just an excuse to post old Towers photos! :D
