A close-up of the rocky outcrop, in this former quarry. You don't have to dig down very far to find this sandstone. Woodfield Road runs along the top of this outcrop and four roads lead up from the main road to meet it. The houses fronting two of these roads can just be seen. Those on the right are on Stothard Road and those on the left are on Netherfield Road. The next two roads to the left are Loxley View Road and Longfield Road. All of these roads are built on field boundaries.
