From a vantage point on Edward Street at Snowden Hill, one can look across the carpark of a local superstore to see part of the extensive steelworks at Stocksbridge. The slopes on the opposite side of the valley sweep down from Hunshelf. The main street, Manchester Road, runs between the two horizontally across the shot. Until the construction of the A616 bypass, which runs parallel behind the trees, Manchester road used to be the main trunk road - causing a huge bottleneck through the village.
