The image has been taken from the corner of Sun Street, looking roughly north-east along the A4124 towards Wednesfield. Optical foreshortening by the telephoto lens setting makes the high rise tower blocks in Heath Town appear closer than their 800-900 metre (half mile plus) distance. So many of the 1960s high rise blocks of flats have now been demolished in Wolverhampton that one wonders for how long scenes such as this will remain.
