The playful balconies of the Solara condos add a contemporary presence to an otherwise aged Keele and Rogers neighbourhood. Designed by Arsenault Architects Inc construction was completed in 2005.

Keele Hall is a 19th-century mansion house and is a Grade II listed building. The manor of Keele was held by the Sneyd family continuously from 1544 to 1948. A large gabled Tudor style house was built on the hill in 1580. In 1651 Colonel Ralph Sneyd fought on the Royalist side in the English Civil War and was killed.

A outing with The Staffordshire Fungus Group. I had never visited Keele University before and the grounds are lovely. We only covered a small fraction of the grounds and found a lot of species of fungus many of which I have never seen before.

The bark looked a bit like Redwood, the crown doesn't. It was a tall tree. Thanks Joan, not pinned down which one. It is Hemlock of some sort.
