The grassed area on the left was once residential, but the housing on that side of Dyke Vale Road has been demolished, with the land being allowed to return somewhat to nature. There is still housing on the other side of the road, out of frame to the right. The bus shelter and layby was formerly the terminus of the bus route serving this area, but the service was extended to Crystal Peaks a few years ago; even the buses don't want to hang around in this desolate place.
