Kidsgrove
Kidsgrove is a town in the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, in Staffordshire, England, near the border with Cheshire. From the eighteenth century, it grew around coal mining, although the mines have now closed. Clough Hall Mansion in the town, now demolished, was a local theme park. Thomas Telford built a canal tunnel in the town.
Kidsgrove is known nationally as the town where Donald Neilson, the killer known as the Black Panther took 17 year old Lesley Whittle after kidnapping her in 1975, and ultimately, where he killed her.
