The buildings in the centre of the picture are the White Rose Primary School, library and community centre, with the colliery museum the grey-roofed building behind. They lie on either side of what used to be the main road up this side of the valley: the bypass was built further down, under the large white bridge seen end-on from this angle. The same applies on the other side of the valley: the old main road is the uppermost horizontal line with the bypass below it (and the railway below that).
