Looking north-east from the roof of the car park, the skyline is dominated by the chimney and engine house of Townhead Mill. The more modern metal chimney to the left belongs to Holcroft Engineering. In the middle distance, Penn Street climbs from Baillie Street to Yorkshire Street, with Penn Street School a prominent feature.
