The visible houses and flats are around Hawksworth Crescent. The line of trees below them marks a steep bank formed to lift the development out of the floodplain, mostly along the historic field boundary: see Image "Liable to flooding" says a pre-war map at the confluence of the Kingshurst Brook and the Cole. The view is from Bacon's End Bridge on the A452 Chester Road.
