The result of flooding old mine workings in the area is a pleasant recreational lake used by a yachting club and many walkers. The remainder of the square is occupied by large residential areas and a very busy main road into the nearby town of Wigan. The picture was taken looking roughly southwest from the path that follows the disused and dismantled railway line on the northern edge of the square.
