This dual carriageway is very close to the centre of the town, In the background can be seen the twisted spire of St Mary's parish church. The bridge across the road used to carry a railway line. To the west (left) part of the old track bed is a walkway. To the east the trackbed comes to a dead end as the bridge that once carried it across Lordsmill St has been totally removed.
