Thanks, Northwood Lane rings a bell,  Dog Kennel Lane was often referred to but I never saw a sign as such! The photos you mentioned are a great collection, and with maps from Oldmaps I can follow the plans up to 1952 when my dad was C/O there. The lane also went up to the redundant Trentham Park Station it seems.

As regards Dog Kennel Lane , I was under the impression from my mum that it was the road that took off from the Whitmore road towards Newcastle, at the top of the hill, as we used to live down a small lane off it in a 'double decker' caravan, but do correct me if I am wrong.
Shame they trashed the outdoor pool I went to and the old minature railway too. I remember the Monica cafe as a sort of chintzy sort of cafe and the old entrance to the grounds and lots more.

Thanks,
Looks to be in the right place, The mention of used by the services would fit also, the views put the buildings to the south of the lane approach with the remnant blue walling bricks.

Regarding searches for old Trentham buildings, do you or anyone else have any images of the small RAF Trentham station offcies located opposite the Monica cafe and Whitnmore Rd junction?.
Only the lane approach with some old blue brick walling remains, but the offices occupied the new houses in the direction of the Monica Cafe, when my dad was an officer there and where my mother Elizabeth Dale did WAAF weekend auxiluiary work before they married. I only remember the place as a toddler in the early 50's.
