Looking north-west up the Cliviger Fault from south side of valley above Cornholme. The school is in the lower right quadrant of the photo and the railway line goes to Burnley. The housing is a mix of Victorian terraces and late 20th century flats. Industrial buildings are also prominent, the large white building is a pub. Portsmouth is sqeezed into a narrow valley with steep sides leading to areas of moorland.
