In the foreground is Wesley Terrace. These terraces, which ran across to Foundry Lane, have since been demolished and the area is now occupied by a car park and a branch of Wilkinson. The building on the left in front of the later housing and beside the station still exists and houses a roofing company. On the left is a bank running up to Station Road.
