The toposcope, carved

officially unveiled by the Mayor of Stone, Joyce Farnham and former 
Barlaston Parish Councillor, John Plant who had the original idea for the stone.

From the top of the hill visitors can see Staffordshire, Wales, the National Trust properties of Long Mynd in Shropshire and Mow Cop in Cheshire.

It is hoped that this 
wonderful monument 
should add to the 
enjoyment of all who visit Downs Banks and the 
stone directional plate 
that sits on top helps to identify views.
